Jeremiah 8:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ We longed for relief,
        but received none;
    for a time of healing,
        but found only terror.
¹⁶ The snorting of their horses can be heard as far as Dan;
    the neighing of their stallions makes the whole land tremble.
They come to devour the land and everything in it,
    towns and people alike.
¹⁷ See, I’m sending serpents against you,
    vipers that you can’t charm,
    and they will bite you,
        declares the Lord.
