Jeremiah 8:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² They should be embarrassed at their loathsome deeds,
    yet they are not the least bit ashamed;
    they do not even know how to blush.
Therefore, they will join the others who have fallen;
    when the day of punishment arrives,
    they will be thrown down, says the Lord.

¹³ I will gather them all in,
    the Lord has promised;
there will be no grapes on the vine,
    no figs on the fig trees.
Even the leaves will be withered;
    what I have given them
    will be taken away from them.
¹⁴ Why are we just sitting idly here?
    It is time to mobilize.
Let us march into the fortified cities
    and perish there.
For the Lord, our God, has doomed us for destruction
    and given us poisoned water to drink
    because we have sinned against him.
