Jeremiah 14:18-20

Tree of Life Version

¹⁸ If I go out into the field,
        see, those slain by the sword!
    And if I enter into the city,
        see, the sick with famine!
    For both prophet and kohen
    will travel to a land they do not know.
¹⁹ Have You utterly rejected Judah?
    Has Your soul loathed Zion?
    Why have You smitten us,
    and there is no healing for us?
    We looked for shalom,
        but nothing good came,
        and for a time of healing,
        but suddenly, terror!^[a]
20 We acknowledge our wickedness, Adonai,
    the iniquity of our fathers,
    for we have sinned against You.
