Jeremiah 8:14-22
14WhyH5921H4100 are we sittingH3427 still? 1AssembleH622 yourselves, and let’s 2goH935 into the fortifiedH4013 citiesH5892 And perishH1826 thereH8033, For the LordH3068 our GodH430 has doomedH1826 us And givenH8248 us 3poisonedH7219 waterH4325 toH8248 drinkH8248, BecauseH3588 4we have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068.15We 5waitedH6960 for peaceH7965, but noH369 goodH2896 came; For a timeH6256 of healingH4832, but beholdH2009, terrorH1205!16From 6DanH1835 there is heardH8085 the snortingH5170 of his horsesH5483; At the soundH6963 of the neighingH4684 of his 7stallionsH47 The wholeH3605 landH776 quakesH7493; For they comeH935 and 8devourH398 the landH776 and its fullnessH4393, The cityH5892 and its inhabitantsH3427.17“For beholdH2009, I am 9sendingH7971 serpentsH5175 among you, VipersH6848 for whichH834 thereH369 isH369 10noH369 charmH3908; And they will biteH5391 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
1811My 12sorrowH3015 is beyondH1097 healingH1455, My 13heartH3820 is faintH1742 withinH5921 me!19BeholdH2009, listenH6963! The cryH7775 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 from a 14distantH4801 landH776: “Is the LordH3068 not in ZionH6726? Is her KingH4428 not within her?” “WhyH4069 have they 15provokedH3707 Me with their carvedH6456 imagesH6456, with foreignH5236 1617idolsH1892?”20“HarvestH7105 isH5674 pastH5674, summerH7019 isH3615 overH3615, And we are not savedH3467.”21I am brokenH7665 over the 18brokennessH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971. I 19mournH6937, dismayH8047 has takenH2388 holdH2388 of me.22IsH369 thereH369 noH369 20balmH6875 in GileadH1568? IsH369 thereH369 noH369 physicianH7495 thereH8033? 21WhyH4069 thenH3588 has not the 22healthH724 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 23been restoredH5927?
