Jeremiah 8:12
Compare all
10 Therefore aI will give their wives to others,
And their fields to those who will inherit them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to bcovetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely. 
11 For they have ahealed the hurt of the daughter of My people1 slightly,
Saying, b‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace. 
12 Were they aashamed 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 surely1 consume them,” 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.” ’ ” 
14 “Why do we sit still?
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. 
15 “We alooked for peace, but no good came;
And for a time of health, and there was trouble! 
16 The snorting of His horses was heard from aDan.
The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His bstrong ones;
For they have come and devoured the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who dwell in it.” 
17 “For behold, I will send serpents among you,
Vipers which cannot be acharmed,
And they shall bite you,” says the Lord. 

The Prophet Mourns for the People

18 I would comfort myself in sorrow;
My heart is faint in me.
19 Listen! The voice,
The cry of the daughter of my people
From aa far country:
“Is not the Lord in Zion?
Is not her King in her?”
“Why have they provoked Me to anger
With their carved images—
With foreign idols?” 
20 “The harvest is past,
The summer is ended,
And we are not saved!”
21 aFor the hurt of the daughter of my people I am hurt.
I am bmourning;
Astonishment has taken hold of me.
