16 And the people 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 wickedness upon them.

17 You will say this word to them,
(D)Let my eyes stream down tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
For the virgin (E)daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow,
With a sorely (F)infected wound.
18 If I (G)go out to the country,
There are those killed by the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
There are diseases from famine!
For (H)both prophet and priest
Have wandered around in the land that they do not know.’”
