Jeremiah 8:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ Why are we sitting still?
^(A)Assemble yourselves, and let us ^(B)go into the fortified cities
And let us perish there,
Because the Lord our God has doomed us
And given us ^(C)poisoned water to drink,
For ^(D)we have sinned against the Lord.
¹⁵ We ^(E)waited for peace, but no good came;
For a time of healing, but behold, terror!
¹⁶ From ^(F)Dan is heard the snorting of his horses;
At the sound of the neighing of his ^(G)stallions
The whole land quakes;
For they come and ^(H)devour the land and its fullness,
The city and its inhabitants.
