Yirmeyah 8:13-15
Orthodox Jewish Bible
13 I would surely have harvested them, saith Hashem, but no grapes are on the gefen, nor te’enim (figs) on the te’enah (fig tree), even the leaf shall wither; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
14 Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us perish there; for Hashem Eloheinu hath made us to perish, and given us mey rosh (poisonous water) to drink, because we have sinned against Hashem.
15 We looked for shalom, but no tov came; and for et marpeh (a time of healing), and, hinei, terror!

Jeremiah 8:13-15
New International Version
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
will be taken(D) from them.[a]’”
14 Why are we sitting here?
Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(E)
and perish there!
For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and given us poisoned water(F) to drink,
because we have sinned(G) against him.
15 We hoped for peace(H)
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(I)
