13. I will wipe them out.They are vines without grapes;fig trees without figs or leaves.They have not done a thingthat I told them!I, the Lord, have spoken.
14. The people of Judahsay to each other,“What are we waiting for?Let's run to a town with wallsand die there.We rebelled against the Lord,and we were sentenced to dieby drinking poison.
15. We had hoped for peaceand a time of healing,but all we got was terror.
16. Our enemies have reachedthe town of Dan in the north,and the snorting of their horsesmakes us tremble with fear.The enemy will destroy Jerusalemand our entire nation.No one will survive.”
