Jeremiah 14:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 “You will say this word to them,
‘(A)Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
For the virgin (B)daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow,
With a sorely (C)infected wound.
18 ‘If I (D)go out to the country,
Behold, those [a]slain with the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
Behold, diseases of famine!
For (E)both prophet and priest
Have [b]gone roving about in the land that they do not know.’”
19 Have You completely (F)rejected Judah?
Or have [c]You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that we (G)are beyond healing?
We (H)waited for peace, but nothing good came;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
