13 When I would gather them, declares the Lord,
    there are (A)no grapes on the vine,
    (B)nor figs on the fig tree;
(C)even the leaves are withered,
    and what I gave them has passed away from them.”[a]

14 Why do we sit still?
(D)Gather together; (E)let us go into the fortified cities
    and perish there,
for the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
    and has (F)given us (G)poisoned water to drink,
    because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 (H)We looked for peace, but no good came;
    for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
