Jeremiah 14:17-21

You are to speak this word to them: Let my eyes overflow with tears; day and night may they not stop,  for my dearest people  have been destroyed by a crushing blow,  an extremely severe wound.  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. Have you completely rejected Judah? Do you detest   Zion? Why do you strike us with no hope of healing for us? We hoped for peace, but there was nothing good; for a time of healing, but there was only terror.  We acknowledge our wickedness,  LORD, the iniquity of our ancestors;  indeed, we have sinned against you. For your name’s sake, don’t despise us. Don’t disdain your glorious throne.  Remember your covenant  with us; do not break it.
