Jeremiah 8:13-15
English Standard Version
13 When I would gather them, declares the Lord,
there are (A)no grapes on the vine,
(B)nor figs on the fig tree;
(C)even the leaves are withered,
and what I gave them has passed away from them.”[a]
14 Why do we sit still?
(D)Gather together; (E)let us go into the fortified cities
and perish there,
for the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and has (F)given us (G)poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 (H)We looked for peace, but no good came;
for a time of healing, but behold, terror.

but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(I)
