If I go out into the field, then behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’”

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૧૪:૧૮
જો હું ખેતરોમાં બહાર જાઉં છું, તો ત્યાં તલવારથી માર્યા ગયેલાઓના મૃતદેહો જોઉં છું. જો હું નગરમાં જાઉં છું, તો જુઓ, ત્યાં દુકાળથી પીડાતા લોકને જોઉં છું. પ્રબોધકો અને યાજકો સુદ્ધાં આમ તેમ ભટક્યા કરે છે. શું કરવું તે તેમને સૂઝતું નથી.’”
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह १४:१८
यदि मैं मैदान में जाऊँ, तो देखो, तलवार के मारे हुए पड़े हैं! और यदि मैं नगर के भीतर आऊँ, तो देखो, भूख से अधमरे पड़े हैं! क्योंकि भविष्यद्वक्ता और याजक देश में कमाई करते फिरते और समझ नहीं रखते हैं।’”

In context

16The people to whom they prophesy will be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. They will have no one to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour their wickedness on them.

17“You shall say this word to them: “‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.

18If I go out into the field, then behold, the slain with the sword! If I enter into the city, then behold, those who are sick with famine! For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land, and have no knowledge.’”

19Have you utterly rejected Judah? Has your soul loathed Zion? Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!

20We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against you.
