Jer 14:1-22. Prophecies on the occasion of a drought sent in judgment on Judea.
Literally, “That which was the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah concerning the dearth”
drought - literally, the “withholdings,” namely, of rain (Deu 11:17; 2Ch 7:13). This word should be used especially of the withholding of rain because rain is in those regions of all things the one chiefly needed (Jer 17:8, Margin).
