Jeremiah 14:17-19
Legacy Standard Bible
17 And you will say this word to them,
‘(A)Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day,
And let them not cease,
For the virgin (B)daughter of my people has been shattered with a mighty shattering,
With a sorely (C)sick wound.
18 If I (D)go out to the field,
Behold, those [a]slain with the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
Behold, diseases of famine!
For (E)both prophet and priest
Have gone around as merchants in the land that they do not know.’”
19 Have You completely (F)rejected Judah?
Or [b]have You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that (G)there is no healing for us?
We (H)hoped for peace, but there was no good;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
