Jeremiah 8:14

The Nation Longs For Yahweh's Help

¹³ I will take away their harvests, says the Lord. There will be no grapes on their vines. There will be no figs on their fig trees. Even the leaves on their trees will wither. The crops that I gave them will be taken away.'" ¹⁴ The people say, "Why are we just sitting here? Let us gather together inside the fortified cities. Let us at least die there fighting, since the Lord our God has condemned us to die. He has condemned us to drink the poison waters of judgment because we have sinned against him. ¹⁵ We hoped for good fortune, but nothing good has come of it. We hoped for a time of relief, but instead we experience terror.
