Verse 18

If I go forth{H3318}{(H8804)} into the field{H7704}, then behold the slain{H2491} with the sword{H2719}! and if I enter{H935}{(H8804)} into the city{H5892}, then behold them that are sick{H8463} with famine{H7458}! yea, both the prophet{H5030} and the priest{H3548} go about{H5503}{(H8804)} into a land{H776} that they know{H3045}{(H8804)} not.
