Jeremiah 14:18-20
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
18 If I go out into the field, then behold, those slain with the sword! And if I enter the city, then behold, those tormented with the diseases of famine! For both prophet and priest go about not knowing what to do or as beggars [exiled] in a land that they know not, and they have no knowledge.
19 [O Lord] have You utterly rejected Judah? Do You loathe Zion? Why have You smitten us so that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace and completeness, but no good came, and for a time of healing, but behold, dismay, disaster, and terror!
20 We know and acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against You.

Jeremiah 14:18-20
New International Version
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.(A)
Both prophet and priest
have gone to a land they know not.(B)’”
19 Have you rejected Judah completely?(C)
Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us
so that we cannot be healed?(D)
We hoped for peace
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(E)
20 We acknowledge(F) our wickedness, Lord,
and the guilt of our ancestors;(G)
we have indeed sinned(H) against you.
