Jeremiah 8:14

The Nation Longs For Yahweh's Help

¹³ I will gather them and bring them to an end.
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. ¹⁴ Why are we just sitting here?
Gather together; let us enter the fortified cities
and perish there,
for the Lord our God has destroyed us.
He has given us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against the Lord.
¹⁵ We hoped for peace, but there was nothing good;
for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
