18 If I go into the country,
    I see the bodies of those killed in war.
If I go into the city,
    I see people sick from hunger.
The priests and prophets continue their work,
    but they don’t understand what is happening.’”

19 Lord, have you completely rejected the nation of Judah?
    Do you hate Zion?
You hurt us so badly that we cannot be made well again.
    Why did you do that?
We were hoping for peace,
    but nothing good has come.
We were hoping for a time of healing,
    but only terror came.
20 Lord, we know that we are wicked.
    We know that our ancestors did evil things.
    Yes, we sinned against you.
