Jeremiah 14:18-20

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ If I go out to the field,
I see those who have been run through by the sword.
If go into the city,
I see those diseased by famine.
Both prophet and priest have gone to a land they do not know.

¹⁹ Lord, have you completely rejected Judah?
Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us,
so that we cannot be healed?
We looked for health,
but nothing good came.
We hoped for healing,
but there was only terror.
²⁰ We acknowledge our wickedness
and the guilt of our fathers.
We have sinned against you.
