Jeremiah 14:16-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
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 wickedness on them.
17 “You will say this word to 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 crushed with a mighty blow,
With a sorely (F)infected wound.
18 ‘If I (G)go out to the country,
Behold, those [a]slain with the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
Behold, diseases of famine!
For (H)both prophet and priest
Have [b]gone roving about in the land that they do not know.’”
