Jeremiah 8:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced city, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and hath given us water of gall to drink: for we have sinned against the Lord.

¹⁵ We looked for peace and no good came: for a time of healing, and behold fear.

¹⁶ The snorting of his horse was heard from Dan, all the land was moved at the sound of the neighing of his warriors: and they came and devoured the land, and all that was in it: the city and its inhabitants.
