14:1 耶和華論到乾旱之災的話臨到耶利米：
14:2 猶大悲哀，城門衰敗。眾人披上黑衣坐在地上；耶路撒冷的哀聲上達。
14:3 他們的貴冑打發家僮打水；他們來到水池，見沒有水，就拿著空器皿，蒙羞慚愧，抱頭而回。
14:4 耕地的也蒙羞抱頭；因為無雨降在地上，地都乾裂。
14:5 田野的母鹿生下小鹿，就撇棄，因為無草。
14:6 野驢站在淨光的高處，喘氣好像野狗；因為無草，眼目失明。
The word of the Lord that came to
Jeremiah concerning the drought:
“Judah mourns,
and her gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
and the cry of Jerusalem goes up.
Her
nobles send their servants for water;
they come to the cisterns;
they find no water;
they return with their vessels empty;
they are ashamed and confounded
and cover their heads.
Because of the ground that is dismayed,
since there is no rain on the land,
the farmers are ashamed;
they cover their heads.
Even the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.
The
wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;
they pant for air like jackals;
their eyes fail
because there is no vegetation.

說到「乾旱之災」就是指人遠離上帝所遭遇的困境！因為相對於上帝的恩典，就是上帝賜人聖靈之時，讓人感受到恩雨降臨，或是腹中有活水湧流，是不會乾渴的！
也因此，我們可以用心靈是否乾渴來衡量靈命的問題，若是覺得心中乾渴就是我們遠離上帝，沒有聖靈在心中！也因為這樣，我們就要好好在上帝面前悔改，再次求上帝不要將我們心中的聖靈取走，讓我們在上帝面前懇求耶穌基督的寶血洗淨，重新將聖靈澆灌下來，使我們的心靈不再乾渴！
求主保守，讓我們永遠在聖靈中，飽嚐上帝在基督裡所賜的豐盛，使我們活出基督的榮美形象！
