Jeremiah 8:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵    We were counting on peace, but none came.
        We waited for a time of healing, but now all we have is terror.
¹⁶    We can hear the snorts of their warhorses as they charge into Dan;
        at the thunder of their hoofs and noise of their neighs the whole land trembles.
    They have come to devour us—our land and everything in it,
        the city and all her citizens.

¹⁷Eternal One: Look, I have released an army of serpents against you;
        they slither like vipers across the land.
    There is no hope of charming them.
        There is no escape from their deadly bite.
