Jeremiah 14:18
If I go out to the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I enter the city, I see those ravaged by famine! For both prophet and priest travel to a land they do not know.'"
Context
18‘If I go out to the country,
         Behold, those slain with the sword!
         Or if I enter the city,
         Behold, diseases of famine!
         For both prophet and priest
         Have gone roving about in the land that they do not know.’”

19Have You completely rejected Judah?
         Or have You loathed Zion?
         Why have You stricken us so that we are beyond healing?
         We waited for peace, but nothing good came;
         And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!

20We know our wickedness, O LORD,
         The iniquity of our fathers, for we have sinned against You.

21Do not despise us, for Your own name’s sake;
         Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory;
         Remember and do not annul Your covenant with us.

22Are there any among the idols of the nations who give rain?
         Or can the heavens grant showers?
         Is it not You, O LORD our God?
         Therefore we hope in You,
         For You are the one who has done all these things.
