Jeremiah 14:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 The people to whom they prophesy shall be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and the sword. No one shall bury them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour out upon them their own wickedness.(A) 17 Speak to them this word:
Let my eyes stream with tears
night and day, without rest,
Over the great destruction which overwhelms
the virgin daughter of my people,
over her incurable wound.(B)
18 If I walk out into the field,
look! those slain by the sword;
If I enter the city,
look! victims of famine.
Both prophet and priest ply their trade
in a land they do not know.

Jeremiah 14:16-18
New International Version
16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury(A) them, their wives, their sons and their daughters.(B) I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.(C)
17 “Speak this word to them:
“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears(D)
night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin(E) Daughter, my people,
has suffered a grievous wound,
a crushing blow.(F)
18 If I go into the country,
I see those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city,
I see the ravages of famine.(G)
Both prophet and priest
have gone to a land they know not.(H)’”
