Jeremiah 14:17-19

Lexham English Bible

‘Let my eyes melt with tears night and day,
    and let them not cease,
for with a great wound the virgin daughter of my people is broken,
    with a very incurable wound.
¹⁸ If I go out into the field,
    then look, those slain by the sword.
And if I enter the city,
    then look, the sickness of the famine.
For both prophet and priest wander around through the land,
    they do not know what is going on.’”^[a]
19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
    Or has your soul^[b] loathed Zion?
Why have you struck us
    so that there is no healing for us?
We hope for peace, but there is no good,
    and for a time of healing, but look, there is terror.
