Jeremías 14:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 14:4

Because the ground is chapt
Through the violent heat of the sun, and want of rain; or, is broken F25; and crumbles into dust. The Targum is,

``because of sins, the inhabitants of the earth are broken:''
for there was no rain in the earth;
this was the reason of the dearth, and of the famine, and why there was no water in the pits, and the ground was parched. It is to be understood of the land of Judea only, not of the whole earth: the ploughmen were ashamed;
because they could not work the earth with their plough; were obliged to sit still, could do no work, or go on with their husbandry; nothing could be done for want of rain: they covered their heads; as before; (See Gill on Jeremiah 14:3).

Jeremías 14:4 In-Context

2 Se enlutó Judá, y sus puertas se despoblaron; oscureciéronse en tierra, y subió el clamor de Jerusalén
3 Y los principales de ellos enviaron sus criados al agua; vinieron a las lagunas, y no hallaron agua; volvieron con sus vasos vacĂ­os; se avergonzaron, se confundieron, y cubrieron sus cabezas
4 Porque se resquebrajĂł la tierra a causa de no llover en el paĂ­s; los labradores se avergonzaron, cubrieron sus cabezas
5 Y aun las ciervas en los campos parĂ­an, y dejaban la crĂ­a, porque no habĂ­a hierba
6 Y los asnos monteses se ponĂ­an en los altos, aspiraban el viento como los dragones; sus ojos se cegaron, porque no habĂ­a hierba
