← Jeremiah 8:13	Jeremiah 8:14 (KJV)	Jeremiah 8:15 →
I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: [there shall be] no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and [the things that] I have given them shall pass away from them.	Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.	We looked for peace, but no good [came; and] for a time of health, and behold trouble!
