Jeremiah 8:12-14
English Standard Version
12 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?
No, (A)they were not at all ashamed;
they did not know how to blush.
(B)Therefore they shall fall among the fallen;
when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.
13 When I would gather them, declares the Lord,
there are (C)no grapes on the vine,
(D)nor figs on the fig tree;
(E)even the leaves are withered,
and what I gave them has passed away from them.”[a]
14 Why do we sit still?
(F)Gather together; (G)let us go into the fortified cities
and perish there,
for the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and has (H)given us (I)poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against the Lord.
