Jeremiah 8:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³“I would have gathered them,”
    declares the Lord,
“but there were no grapes on the vine,
    and no figs on the fig tree,
and their leaves were withered.
    What I’ve given them has been taken away.”’”

The People Respond

¹⁴Why are we sitting here?
    Join together! Let’s go to the fortified cities
        and perish there!
For the Lord our God has condemned us to perish
    and given us poisoned water to drink,
        because we have sinned against him.^[a]
¹⁵We waited for peace, but no good has come,
    for a time of healing, but instead there was terror.
