Jeremiah 8:13-15

New King James Version

¹³ “I will surely ^[a]consume them,” says the Lord.
“No grapes shall be ^(A)on the vine,
Nor figs on the ^(B)fig tree,
And the leaf shall fade;
And the things I have given them shall ^(C)pass away from them.” ’ ”

¹⁴ “Why do we sit still?
^(D)Assemble yourselves,
And let us enter the fortified cities,
And let us be silent there.
For the Lord our God has put us to silence
And given us ^(E)water^[b] of gall to drink,
Because we have sinned against the Lord.

¹⁵ “We ^(F)looked for peace, but no good came;
And for a time of health, and there was trouble!
