Jeremiah 14:16-18
New Living Translation
Jeremiah 14:16-18
New Living Translation
16 As for the people to whom they prophesy—their bodies will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and war. There will be no one left to bury them. Husbands, wives, sons, and daughters—all will be gone. For I will pour out their own wickedness on them. 17 Now, Jeremiah, say this to them:
“Night and day my eyes overflow with tears.
I cannot stop weeping,
for my virgin daughter—my precious people—
has been struck down
and lies mortally wounded.
18 If I go out into the fields,
I see the bodies of people slaughtered by the enemy.
If I walk the city streets,
I see people who have died of starvation.
The prophets and priests continue with their work,
but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

Jeremiah 14:16-18
New International Version
16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury(A) them, their wives, their sons and their daughters.(B) I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.(C)
17 “Speak this word to them:
“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears(D)
night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin(E) Daughter, my people,
has suffered a grievous wound,
a crushing blow.(F)
18 If I go into the country,
I see those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city,
I see the ravages of famine.(G)
Both prophet and priest
have gone to a land they know not.(H)’”
