Jeremiah 8:12-14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
12 Were they ashamed when they acted so abhorrently?
They weren’t at all ashamed.
They can no longer feel humiliation.
Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.
When I punish them, they will collapse,”(A)
says the Lord.
13 I will gather them and bring them to an end.[a](B)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
There will be no grapes on the vine,
no figs on the fig tree,
and even the leaf will wither.
Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.
God’s People Unrepentant
14 Why are we just sitting here?
Gather together; let us enter the fortified cities
and perish there,[b]
for the Lord our God has destroyed[c] us.
He has given us poisoned water to drink,(C)
because we have sinned against the Lord.
