Parallels

  • Joel 1:1 (structural): Same prophetic introductory formula — “The word of the LORD that came to [the prophet]” — linking Jeremiah’s oracle to Joel’s book-opening announcement.
  • 1 Kings 17:1 (thematic): Elijah pronounces a cessation of rain as divine judgment; both passages present a prophet’s word about an inflicted drought.
  • Amos 4:7 (thematic): Yahweh withholds rain as punitive action. Amos’s account of withheld rain parallels Jeremiah’s subject matter of drought as God‑sent calamity.
  • Joel 1:10-12 (thematic): Graphic description of fields, vineyards, and grain failing because of lack of rain — parallels Jeremiah’s ensuing depiction of the land’s desolation from drought.
  • Habakkuk 3:17-18 (thematic): Imagery of figs failing and fields yielding no food yet trusting God; thematically related to Jeremiah’s focus on crop failure and faith/response amid drought.

Parallels

  • Lamentations 1:4 (verbal): Both describe the gates of the city as desolate and the city itself mourning; Lamentations echoes Jeremiah’s language of ruined gates and the cry of Jerusalem after destruction.
  • Isaiah 64:10 (thematic): Isaiah speaks of Zion and Jerusalem as a wilderness and desolate—thematising the same urban desolation and communal lament found in Jeremiah 14:2.
  • Psalm 137:1-2 (thematic): An exile-lament over Jerusalem (‘we wept… by the rivers’), matching Jeremiah’s motif of communal weeping and the rising cry from Jerusalem in crisis.
  • Joel 1:10-12 (thematic): Joel depicts the land and its works mourning (fields, vine dressers, etc.) and a rising cry—parallel imagery of widespread mourning and lament that accompanies Judah’s distress.
  • Jeremiah 4:19 (structural): An intra-Jeremian parallel: Jeremiah’s own anguished cry (‘my bowels… I am pained’) and the lament motif recur, linking personal prophetic lament to the communal cry of Jerusalem in 14:2.

  • Psalm 107:33-35 (thematic): Describes God turning rivers into wilderness and springs into dry ground—poetic depiction of drought and its effects on the land and people.
  • Jeremiah 17:6 (thematic): Uses parched-desert imagery (‘like a bush in the desert’) to describe those cut off from God—echoes the theme of thirst, barrenness, and judgment in Jeremiah.

  • Deuteronomy 28:23-24 (verbal): Part of the covenant curses: the heavens become like bronze and rain is withheld—language and theme closely mirror Jeremiah's motif of land parched because of lack of rain as judgment.
  • Joel 1:10-12 (thematic): Graphic depiction of ruined fields, withered vines and desolate agricultural life—similar imagery of parched land and the farmers' loss in Jeremiah 14:4.
  • Amos 4:7-8 (allusion): God describes withholding rain from cities as a form of warning/discipline; the passage echoes Jeremiah's linking of drought to divine judgment and the suffering of those who till the land.

Parallels

  • Jeremiah 1:9 (verbal): God touches the prophet's mouth and puts words in it — directly parallels 'you shall be as my mouth' (divine commissioning and speech).
  • Ezekiel 3:17-21 (structural): Ezekiel appointed as God's watchman, told to stand and warn Israel whether they heed or not — parallels the prophet's standing before God and duty to address the people despite their response.
  • Proverbs 25:4-5 (verbal): Imagery of removing dross from silver ('take away the dross') corresponds to 'bring out the precious from the vile' — same metaphoric distinction between valuable and worthless.
  • Isaiah 6:9-10 (thematic): Isaiah's commission to speak though the people will be unresponsive/hardened echoes Jeremiah's theme of prophetic commissioning coupled with a recalcitrant audience.

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts.

Judah mourns, and its gates languish; the land is darkened, and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

Their nobles send their young men for water; they come to the cisterns but find no water; they return with their vessels empty, ashamed and confounded; they cover their heads.

Because of the land the farmer is ashamed; the field is parched, for there is no rain in the land; the plowmen cover their heads.

Even the doe gives birth in the field and forsakes her young, because there is no pasture.

The wild asses stand on the heights and pant like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no grass.

Though our transgressions testify against us, O LORD, do for your name’s sake; for our apostasies are many—we have sinned against you.

O Hope of Israel, its Savior in time of trouble, why are you like a stranger in the land, like one who turns aside to lodge for the night?

Why are you like a man terrified, like a warrior who cannot save? Yet you are in our midst, O LORD, and your name is called upon us; do not forsake us. Thus says the LORD to this people: They love to go on in the stubbornness of their own hearts; they have not restrained their feet. The LORD will not accept them; now he will remember their iniquity and visit their sins. And the LORD said to me, “Do not pray for this people for good.”

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer up burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them with sword and famine and pestilence. And I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets say to them, ‘You shall not see sword or famine; there shall be no more of these; for the prophet prophesies peace for you.’ ” And the LORD said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them; they prophesy to you a vision of falsehood, divination, and the deceit of their own heart.

Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, though I did not send them: ‘Behold, I will make them eat bitter food and give them poisonous water to drink; for by the sword and by famine shall those prophets perish in the land.’” And the people to whom they prophesy shall be thrown out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; there will be no one to bury them—they and their wives and their sons and their daughters; I will pour out upon them their calamity.

You shall say this word to them: ‘Let my eyes flow with tears day and night and do not let them cease, for a great breaking has come, a very great: the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a mighty blow.’

If I go out to the field, behold, the slain by the sword; and if I enter the city, behold, the corpses of famine; for both prophet and priest have gone into exile— they wander into foreign lands and do not know.

Have you utterly rejected Judah? Does your soul loathe Zion? Why have you struck us down so that there is no healing? We looked for peace, and there is no good; for a time of healing, and behold, terror.

We know, O LORD, our wickedness and the iniquity of our fathers; we have sinned against you.

Do not abhor us for your name’s sake; do not profane the throne of your glory; remember and do not break your covenant with us.

Are the idols of the nations the rain‑givers? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not you, O LORD our God? We set our hope on you, for you do all these things.

Then the LORD said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me, my soul would not be toward this people; send them away from my presence, and let them go forth. And if they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD: Those who are for death, to death; and those who are for the sword, to the sword; and those who are for famine, to famine; and those who are for captivity, to captivity.’” And I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to slay, dogs to drag, the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. And I will give them as a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will console you? From where will you be sought and healed?

You have forsaken me, says the LORD; you go backward. Therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and destroy you; I am weary of relenting.

I will scatter you like chaff at the gates of the land; I have bereaved and destroyed my people because they would not return from their ways.

I will make you a widow long days; I will bring upon them a day of plunder like the mother of a young man bereaved at noon; I will cast upon her sudden desolation—city and panic.

She who has borne seven languishes; her breath has gone from her; her sun has gone down while it is yet day; she is ashamed and confounded. And the remnant of them I will give to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.

Woe is me, my mother, that you bore me a man of strife and contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, nor have men lent to me, yet every one curses me. And the LORD said, “If I had not established you for good, I would now have appointed you to the sword in the time of evil and to the hand of your enemies in the day of punishment.”

Is not disaster like iron—iron from the north and bronze?

I will give up your wealth and your treasures as plunder without price, because of all your sins and in all your borders. And I will hand over your foes to possess the land; you will not know it. For a blazing fire kindled in my anger shall burn against you and devour you.

You know, O LORD; remember me and visit me; take vengeance for me on my persecutors; do not take me away in your patience—know that for your sake I bear reproach.

Your words were found, and I ate them; and your word became for me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts.

I did not sit in the company of revelers, nor did I rejoice; I sat alone, for your hand was heavy upon me; you filled me with indignation.

Why is my pain perpetual and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will you be to me like a deceptive stream, like waters that fail?

Therefore thus says the LORD: If you return, I will restore you, and before you you shall stand; and if you bring forth the precious from the worthless, you shall be as my mouth. Let them return to you, but you must not turn to them. And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail over you, for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, declares the LORD. And I will rescue you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grip of the ruthless.
