Jeremías 14:1 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 14:1

The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the
dearth.
] Or, "concerning the words of straints" ^F24; that is, concerning the businesses of a drought, as the Targum; concerning the Lord's restraining rain from the earth, and forbidding the heavens dropping it down; the consequence of which is a drought, or dryness of the earth; and the effect of that a famine; when this was it is not anywhere said; it could not be the famine at the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, because that only affected the city; this all Judea. Some think it was in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, long before the siege; and others, that it was in the reign of Jehoiakim, since we read of a fast in his time, ( Jeremiah 36:9 ) , which might be on this occasion; and it appears that there was one at this time, though not acceptable to God; see ( Jeremiah 14:12 ) .

Jeremías 14:1 In-Context

1 Lo que vino como palabra del SEÑOR a Jeremías respecto a la sequía:

2 De luto está Judá, y sus puertas languidecen, están por tierra enlutadas, y sube el clamor de Jerusalén.

3 Sus nobles enviaban a sus siervos por agua; iban a las cisternas y no hallaban agua; volvían con sus vasijas vacías. Quedaron avergonzados y humillados, y se cubrieron la cabeza.

4 El suelo está agrietado, pues no ha habido lluvia sobre la tierra; los labradores, avergonzados, se han cubierto la cabeza.

5 Porque aún la cierva en el campo ha parido, pero abandona su cría porque no hay hierba.
