Jeremiah 8:13-15
New Century Version
Jeremiah 8:13-15
New Century Version
13 “‘I will take away their crops, says the Lord.
There will be no grapes on the vine
and no figs on the fig tree.
Even the leaves will dry up and die.
I will take away what I gave them.’”
14 “Why are we just sitting here?
Let’s get together!
We have sinned against the Lord,
so he has given us poisoned water to drink.
Come, let’s run to the strong, walled cities.
The Lord our God has decided that we must die,
so let’s die there.
15 We hoped to have peace,
but nothing good has come.
We hoped for a time when he would heal us,
but only terror has come.

13 “‘I will take away their harvest,
declares the Lord.
There will be no grapes on the vine.(A)
There will be no figs(B) on the tree,
and their leaves will wither.(C)
What I have given them

Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(E)
and perish there!

but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(I)
