Jeremiah 8:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ From the land of Dan [^Cin the far north of Israel, the direction from which the Babylonians attacked],
    the snorting of its [^Cthe enemy’s] horses is heard.
    The ·ground [earth] shakes from the neighing of their ·large horses [stallions].
They have come and ·destroyed [^Lconsumed]
    the land and everything in it,
    the city and all ·who live there [its inhabitants].”

¹⁸ God, ·you are my comfort when I am very sad [^Lmy cheerfulness is gone; grief has come on me]
    and ·when I am afraid [^Lmy heart is sick].
