16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword, (A)with none to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their evil upon them.

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