Jeremiah 14:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ If I go forth into the fields, behold the slain with the sword: and if I enter into the city, behold them that are consumed with famine. The prophet also and the priest are gone into a land which they knew not.

¹⁹ Hast thou utterly cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? why then hast thou struck us, so that there is no healing for us? we have looked for peace, and there is no good: and for the time of healing, and behold trouble.

²⁰ We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
