Jeremiah 14:17-18

17 “You shall say to them this word:
^a‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day,
and let them not cease,
for the virgin ^bdaughter of my people is shattered with a great wound,
^cwith a very grievous blow.
18 ^dIf I go out into the field,
behold, those pierced by the sword!
^eAnd if I enter the city,
behold, the diseases of famine!
^fFor both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land
and have no knowledge.’”
