Jeremiah 14:17-19

International Standard Version

‘Let tears run down my face,^[b]
    night and day, and don’t let them stop,
because my virgin daughter—my people—
    will be broken with a powerful blow,
        with a severe wound.
¹⁸ If I go out into the field,
    I see those slain by the sword!
If I go into the city,
    I see the ravages of the famine!
Indeed, both prophet and priest
    ply their trade in the land,
        but they don’t know anything.’”^[c]
