13 “I will gather them and bring them to an end.”[a](A)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
“There will be no grapes on the vine,
no figs on the fig tree,
and even the leaf will wither.
Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.”

God’s People Unrepentant

14 Why are we just sitting here?
Gather together; let’s enter the fortified cities
and perish there,[b]
for the Lord our God has destroyed[c] us.
He has given us poisoned water to drink,(B)
because we have sinned against the Lord.(C)
15 We hoped for peace, but there was nothing good;
for a time of healing, but there was only terror.(D)
