Jeremiah 8:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ I will put an end to them,^[a]
        declares the Lord;
    there are no grapes on the vine,
        no figs on the tree,
        only withered leaves.
They have squandered what I have given them!^[b]

¹⁴ Why are we sitting here?
    Come, let’s go to the fortified towns
        and meet our doom there.
The Lord our God has doomed us
    by giving us poisoned water to drink,
        because we have sinned against the Lord!
¹⁵ We longed for relief,
        but received none;
    for a time of healing,
        but found only terror.
