Jeremiah 14:16-18
Amplified Bible
Jeremiah 14:16-18
Amplified Bible
16 And the people to whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword; and they will have no one to bury them—neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters. For I will pour out their [own] wickedness on them [and not only on the imposters posing as prophets, for the people could not have been deceived without their own consent].
17
“Therefore [Jeremiah] you will say this word to them,
‘Let my eyes flow with tears night and day,
And let them never cease;
For the virgin daughter of my people has been crushed with a great blow,
With a very serious and severely infected wound.
18
‘If I go out into the field,
Then I gaze on those slaughtered with the sword!
And if I enter the city,
Then I gaze on [those tormented with] the diseases of famine!
For both prophet and priest [who should have guided the people]
Go about [bewildered and exiled] in a land (Babylon) that they do not know or understand.’”

17 “Speak this word to them:
“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears(D)
night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin(E) Daughter, my people,
has suffered a grievous wound,
a crushing blow.(F)
18 If I go into the country,
I see those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city,
I see the ravages of famine.(G)
Both prophet and priest
have gone to a land they know not.(H)’”
