Jeremiah 14 · Grade 3

The Hope of Israel

Name Date

Read the Story

God sent Jeremiah a message about a drought. The people of Judah were sad. Nobles sent their little ones to the cisterns, but they found no water. The ground was cracked because no rain had fallen.

The people prayed. They said their sins were many. They called God the hope of Israel and its Savior in the time of trouble. They asked God not to leave them.

Some prophets said everything would be fine. But God had not sent them. At the end, the people asked a question. Can the sky give showers by itself? No, only God can. They said they would wait for him, because he made all these things.

Memory Verse

“Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.”

Jeremiah 14 · Grade 4

When the Rain Stopped

Name Date

Read and Think

Jeremiah 14 describes a terrible drought. Judah mourned, and the cry of Jerusalem went up. Nobles sent their little ones to the cisterns. They found no water and came back with empty jars. The plowmen covered their heads because the ground was cracked. Even the wild donkeys stood on the bare heights panting for air.

The people prayed a humble prayer. They admitted their iniquities and asked God to act for his name's sake. They called him the hope of Israel and its Savior in the time of trouble. They said that God was in the middle of them and they were called by his name.

Jeremiah told God that the prophets kept promising peace with no sword or famine. God answered that those prophets were telling lies in his name. He had not sent them. The chapter closes with faith. Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? The people confessed that only God could, and they would wait for him.

Jeremiah 14 · Grade 5

Work for Your Name's Sake

Name Date

Read and Think

Jeremiah 14 opens with Yahweh's word concerning the drought. The description is vivid and painful. Nobles sent their little ones to the waters, but they found no water and covered their heads. Because the ground was cracked, the plowmen were disappointed. The doe abandoned her newborn, and wild donkeys panted like jackals because there was no grass.

The people responded with confession. Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name's sake, Yahweh. They called him the hope of Israel and asked why he should be like a foreigner or a traveler who stays only a night. Yet you, Yahweh, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Don't leave us. God answered that the people loved to wander, and he told Jeremiah not to pray for their good. Their fasting would not change a heart that refused to turn.

Jeremiah protested that the prophets were promising lasting peace. God replied that the prophets were prophesying lies in his name, and he had not sent them. The chapter ends with Jeremiah's lament and a closing confession of trust. Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? The answer is no. Only Yahweh, who has made all these things, can, and so the people would wait for him.

  1. How did the drought affect even the animals?

  2. What did the people ask God to do despite their iniquities?

  3. Why would fasting not help?

  4. What do the closing questions affirm?
