Jeremiah 8:14-16

International Standard Version

¹⁴ Why are we sitting here?
    Join together! Let’s go to the fortified cities
        and perish there!
For the Lord our God has condemned us to perish
    and given us poisoned water to drink,
        because we have sinned against him.^[a]
15 We waited for peace, but no good has come,
    for a time of healing, but instead there was terror.

¹⁶ “The snorting of their horses is heard from Dan.
    At the neighing of their stallions,
        the whole earth quakes.
They’re coming to devour
    the land and all it contains,
        the city and all who live in it.
