Saying, b‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
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.
“No grapes shall be aon the vine,
Nor figs on the bfig tree,
And the leaf shall fade;
And the things I have given them shall cpass away from them.” ’ ”
aAssemble 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 bwater of gall to drink,
Because we have sinned against the Lord.
