Jeremiah 14:10-12
Expanded Bible
10 This is what the Lord says about this people [C of Judah]:
“They really love to wander from me;
they don’t ·stop themselves from leaving me [L restrain their feet].
So now the Lord will not ·accept [be pleased with] them.
He will now remember ·the evil they do [their iniquity]
and will punish them for their sins.”
11 Then the Lord said, “Don’t pray for good things to happen to the people [C of Judah]. 12 Even if they fast, I will not listen to their ·prayers [cry; Prov. 1:28]. Even if they offer burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17] and ·grain [L gift; tribute] offerings [Lev. 2:1] to me, I will not ·accept [be pleased with] them. Instead, I will ·destroy [finish] them [C the people of Judah] with ·war [sword], ·hunger [famine], and ·terrible diseases [plagues; pestilence].”

Jeremiah 14:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 This is what the Lord says to this people: “So much they have (A)loved to wander; they have not (B)restrained their feet. Therefore the Lord does (C)not accept them; now He will (D)remember their wrongdoing and call their sins to account.” 11 So the Lord said to me, “(E)Do not pray for a good outcome on behalf of this people. 12 When they fast, I am (F)not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer (G)burnt offering and grain offering, I am not going to accept them. Rather, I am going to (H)put an end to them by the (I)sword, famine, and plague.”
