Jeremiah 8:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ We expected peace, but no peace came; we looked for health, but there was only terror.”

¹⁶ The noise of war resounds from the northern border.^[a] The whole land trembles at the approach of the terrible army, for the enemy is coming and is devouring the land and everything in it—the cities and people alike. ¹⁷ For I will send these enemy troops among you like poisonous snakes that you cannot charm. No matter what you do, they will bite you and you shall die.
