16 The people also to whom they are prophesying will be (A)thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to (B)bury them—neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters—for I will (C)pour out their own evil on them.

(D)Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day,
And let them not cease,
For the virgin (E)daughter of my people has been shattered with a mighty shattering,
With a sorely (F)sick wound.
18 If I (G)go out to the field,
Behold, those [a]slain with the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
Behold, diseases of famine!
For (H)both prophet and priest
Have gone around as merchants in the land that they do not know.’”
