¹⁷ “You shall say to them this word:
^(A)‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day,
    and let them not cease,
for the virgin ^(B)daughter of my people is shattered with a great wound,
    ^(C)with a very grievous blow.
^18 (D)If I go out into the field,
    behold, those pierced by the sword!
^(E)And if I enter the city,
    behold, the diseases of famine!
^(F)For both prophet and priest ply their trade through the land
    and have no knowledge.’”

^19 (G)Have you utterly rejected Judah?
    Does your soul loathe Zion?
Why have you struck us down
    ^(H)so that there is no healing for us?
^(I)We looked for peace, but no good came;
    ^(J)for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
