Jeremiah 8:12-14
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 8:12-14
Contemporary English Version
12 They should be ashamed
of the way they live,
but they don't even blush.
And so, when I punish Judah,
they will end up on the ground,
dead like everyone else.
13 I will wipe them out.[a]
They are vines without grapes;
fig trees without figs or leaves.
They have not done a thing
that I told them![b]
I, the Lord, have spoken.
The People and Their Punishment
14 The people of Judah
say to each other,
“What are we waiting for?
Let's run to a town with walls
and die there.
We rebelled against the Lord,
and we were sentenced to die
by drinking poison.
