Jeremiah 8:14-22
14Why are we just sitting here? Gather together, let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there, for the LORD our God has doomed us. He has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.15We hoped for peace, but no good has come, for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
16The snorting of enemy horsesis heard from Dan.At the sound of the neighing of mighty steeds,the whole land quakes.They come to devour the land and everything in it,the city and all who dwell in it.
17“For behold, I will send snakes among you,vipers that cannot be charmed,and they will bite you,”declares the LORD.
18My sorrow is beyond healing;1my heart is faint within me.19Listen to the cry of the daughter of my peoplefrom a land far away:
“Is the LORD no longer in Zion?Is her King no longer there?”
“Why have they provoked Me to angerwith their carved images,with their worthless foreign idols?”
20“The harvest has passed, the summer has ended,but we have not been saved.”
