Jeremias 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 ) .

Jeremias 14:1 In-Context

1 Esta é a palavra que o SENHOR dirigiu a Jeremias acerca da seca:

2 “Judá pranteia,as suas cidades estão definhandoe os seus habitantes se lamentam, prostrados no chão!O grito de Jerusalém sobe.

3 Os nobres mandam os seus servosà procura de água;eles vão às cisternas mas nada encontram.Voltam com os potes vaziose, decepcionados e desesperados,cobrem a cabeça.

4 A terra nada produziu,porque não houve chuva;e os lavradores, decepcionados,cobrem a cabeça.

5 Até mesmo a corça no campoabandona a cria recém-nascida,porque não há capim.
