Jeremiah 14:18

If I go out into the field,

behold, those pierced by the sword!

And if I enter the city,

behold, the diseases of famine!

For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land

and have no knowledge.’ ”

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.

Both prophet and priest

have gone to a land they know not.’ ”

If I go out to the field,

look—those slain by the sword!

If I enter the city,

look—those ill from famine!

For both prophet and priest

travel to a land they do not know.

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.”

If I go out into the field,

then look, those slain by the sword.

And if I enter the city,

then look, the sickness of the famine.

For both prophet and priest wander around through the land,

they do not know what is going on.’ ”

If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword!

And if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine!

Yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.
