Jeremiah 8:14-22

14WhyH5921 H4100 are weH587 just sitting hereH3427? Gather togetherH622, let us fleeH935 toH413 the fortifiedH4013 citiesH5892 and perishH1826 thereH8033, forH3588 the LORDH3068 our GodH430 has doomed usH1826. He has given us poisonedH7219 waterH4325 to drinkH8248, becauseH3588 we have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068.15We hopedH6960 for peaceH7965, but noH369 goodH2896 has come, for a timeH6256 of healingH4832, but thereH2009 was only terrorH1205.

16The snortingH5170 of enemy horsesH5483is heardH8085 from DanH1835.At the soundH6963 of the neighingH4684 of mighty steedsH47,the wholeH3605 landH776 quakesH7493.They comeH935 to devourH398 the landH776 and everything in itH4393,the cityH5892 and all who dwellH3427 in it.

17“ForH3588 beholdH2005, I will sendH7971 snakesH5175 among you,vipersH6848 thatH834 cannotH369 be charmedH3908,and they will biteH5391 youH853,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.

18My sorrowH3015 is beyondH5921 healingH4010;1my heartH3820 is faintH1742 within meH5921.19 ListenH6963 to the cryH7775 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971from a land far awayH4801 H776:

“Is the LORDH3068 noH369 longer in ZionH6726?Is herH518 KingH4428 no longerH369 there?”

“WhyH4069 have they provoked Me to angerH3707with their carved imagesH6456,with their worthless foreignH5236 idolsH1892?”

20“The harvestH7105 has passedH5674, the summerH7019 has endedH3615,but weH587 have notH3808 been savedH3467.”

21ForH5921 the brokennessH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 I am crushedH7665.I mournH6937; horrorH8047 has gripped meH2388.22Is there noH369 balmH6875 in GileadH1568 H518?Is noH369 physicianH7495 thereH8033?WhyH4069 thenH3588 has the healthH724 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971notH3808 been restoredH5927?
