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 Palabra del SEÑOR que fue dada a Jeremías, con motivo de la sequía.

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 vacíos; se avergonzaron, se confundieron, y cubrieron sus cabezas.

4 Porque se resquebrajó la tierra a causa de no llover en el país; los labradores se avergonzaron, cubrieron sus cabezas.

5 Y aun las ciervas en los campos parían, y dejaban la cría , porque no había hierba.
