Verse 18
Jeremiah 14:18
Free Bible Version
18
Have you really rejected Judah? Do you hate Zion so much? Why have you wounded us so badly that we can't be healed? We hoped for peace, but instead nothing good has come; we hoped for a time of healing, but instead there was only sudden terror.

English Translation
If I went out to the field and behold, the slain by the sword; and if I came to the city and behold, the sufferers of hunger; for both the prophet and the priest have gone to a land and they do not know.
