11 They treat my dear people's wounds as though they were not serious, saying, "Everything is alright! Everything is alright!" But it's not alright.

13 "'I would have gathered their harvest,'" declares the LORD, "'but there are no grapes on the vine. There are no figs on the tree, and the leaves have dried up. What I have given them will be taken away.'"
