13 I will surely gather them,[a] says the Lord;
    there are no grapes on the vine
    nor figs on the fig tree;
even the leaves are withered,
    and what I gave them has passed away from them.[b](A)

    and perish there,

    and has given us poisoned water to drink
    because we have sinned against the Lord.(B)

    for a time of healing, but there is terror instead.(C)
