18 If I (A)go out to the country,
There are those killed by the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
There are diseases from famine!
For (B)both prophet and priest
Have wandered around in the land that they do not know.’”

19 Have You completely (C)rejected Judah?
Or have [a]You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that we (D)are beyond healing?
We (E)waited for peace, but nothing good came;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
20 We (F)know our wickedness, Lord,
The wrongdoing of our fathers, for (G)we have sinned against You.
