Jeremiah 8:15-19 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. We looked for peace, but there was no good; and for a time of healing, but see – fear!

16. The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan. All the land shook at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones. They came and devoured the land and all that fills it, the city and those who dwell in it.

17. “For look, I am sending among you serpents, adders, which have no enchanter, and they shall bite you,” declares יהוה.

18. When in grief I would seek comfort; my heart is sick within me.

19. Observe! The voice, the cry of the daughter of my people from a distant land, “Is יהוה not in Tsiyon? Is her Sovereign not in her?” “Why have they provoked Me with their carved images, and with foreign worthlessnesses?”
