Jeremiah 14:18-20
Wycliffe Bible
18 If I go out to [the] fields, lo! men be slain with sword; and if I enter into the city, lo! men be made lean for hunger (lo! people be made lean by hunger); also a prophet and a priest went into the land which they knew not.
19 Whether thou casting away hast cast away Judah, either thy soul hath loathed Zion? why therefore hast thou smitten us, so that no health there is? We abided peace, and no good is; and we abided time of healing, and lo! troubling is. (Casting away, hast thou cast away Judah, or hath thy soul loathed Zion? and so why hast thou struck us, so that now there is no health?/so that now there is no deliverance? We waited for peace, but nothing good hath come; and we waited for a time of healing, or of deliverance, but lo! there is only a time of trouble.)
20 Lord, we have known our unfaithfulness, and the wickednesses of our fathers, for we have sinned to thee. (Lord, we acknowledge our unfaithfulness, and the wickednesses of our forefathers, for we all have sinned against thee.)

Jeremiah 14:18-20
New International Version
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.(A)
Both prophet and priest
have gone to a land they know not.(B)’”
19 Have you rejected Judah completely?(C)
Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us
so that we cannot be healed?(D)
We hoped for peace
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(E)
20 We acknowledge(F) our wickedness, Lord,
and the guilt of our ancestors;(G)
we have indeed sinned(H) against you.
