The verse 11 is found in chapter 14 of Jeremiah. The drought produces a crisis affecting cities, fields, and animals. The people confess their sins, but God commands Jeremiah not to intercede because idolatry has persisted. Natural suffering becomes an occasion to reveal the depth of a rebellion that words of repentance have not accompanied with transformation.
