Jeremiah 8:13-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jeremiah 8:13-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 I will take away their harvest,[a] declares the Lord.
There will be no grapes on the vine.
There will be no figs on the fig tree,
and the leaves will wither.
What I have given them will be taken away from them.
The People React
14 Why are we just sitting here?
Let’s get together!
Let us go into the fortified cities and die there.
The Lord our God has condemned us to die
by giving us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against him.
15 We hoped for peace,
but no good came.
We hoped for a time of healing,
but there is only terror.
