Jeremiah 8:11-15
New King James Version
Jeremiah 8:11-15
New King James Version
11 For they have (A)healed the hurt of the daughter of My people [a]slightly,
Saying, (B)‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
12 Were they (C)ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No! They were not at all ashamed,
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
In the time of their punishment
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord.
13 “I will surely [b]consume them,” says the Lord.
“No grapes shall be (D)on the vine,
Nor figs on the (E)fig tree,
And the leaf shall fade;
And the things I have given them shall (F)pass away from them.” ’ ”
14 “Why do we sit still?
(G)Assemble yourselves,
And let us enter the fortified cities,
And let us be silent there.
For the Lord our God has put us to silence
And given us (H)water[c] of gall to drink,
Because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 “We (I)looked for peace, but no good came;
And for a time of health, and there was trouble!

New International Version
Jeremiah 8:11-15
New International Version
11 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
when there is no peace.(A)
12 Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct?
No, they have no shame(B) at all;
they do not even know how to blush.
So they will fall among the fallen;
they will be brought down when they are punished,(C)
says the Lord.(D)
13 “‘I will take away their harvest,
declares the Lord.
There will be no grapes on the vine.(E)
There will be no figs(F) on the tree,
and their leaves will wither.(G)
What I have given them
will be taken(H) from them.[a]’”
14 Why are we sitting here?
Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(I)
and perish there!
For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and given us poisoned water(J) to drink,
because we have sinned(K) against him.
15 We hoped for peace(L)
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(M)
