Jeremiah 8:13-15

Revised Standard Version

¹³When I would gather them, 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.”^[a]

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