Jeremiah 8:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Why do we stay? [a]assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the strong cities, and let us be quiet there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water with [b]gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 (A)We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold troubles.
16 The neighing of his horses was heard from [c]Dan, the whole land trembled at the noise of the neighing of his strong horses: for they are come, and have devoured the land with all that is in it, the city, and those that dwell therein.
