Jeremiah 14

Jeremiah receives a word from YHWH concerning a severe drought afflicting Judah, causing mourning, empty cisterns, parched ground, and distress for people and animals[1][2][3][5]. YHWH rejects Jeremiah's intercessory prayers due to the people's unrepentant wandering and sins, declaring judgment by sword, famine, and pestilence despite their fasting[1][3][4].
