13 I will put an end to them,[a]
        declares the Lord;
    there are no grapes on the vine,
        no figs on the tree,
        only withered leaves.
They have squandered what I have given them![b]

A lament for God’s people

14 Why are we sitting here?

        and meet our doom there.

        but received none;
    for a time of healing,
        but found only terror.
