Jeremiah 14:1

1 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah ^{▼▼ Heb “That which came [as] the word of the Lord to Jeremiah.” The introductory formula here is a variation of that found in 7:1; 10:1; 11:1, i.e., “The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah.” The relative pronoun “which” (אֲשֶׁר, ’asher) actually precedes the noun it modifies. See BDB 82 s.v. אֲשֶׁר 6.a for discussion and further examples.} about the drought. ^{▼▼ Drought was one of the punishments for failure to adhere to the terms of their covenant with God. See Deut 28:22–24; Lev 26:18–20.}
