Jeremiah 8:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Why do we stay? [a]assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the strong cities, and let us be quiet there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water with [b]gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 (A)We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold troubles.
16 The neighing of his horses was heard from [c]Dan, the whole land trembled at the noise of the neighing of his strong horses: for they are come, and have devoured the land with all that is in it, the city, and those that dwell therein.

Jeremiah 8:14-16
New International Version
14 Why are we sitting here?
Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(A)
and perish there!
For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and given us poisoned water(B) to drink,
because we have sinned(C) against him.
15 We hoped for peace(D)
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(E)
16 The snorting of the enemy’s horses(F)
is heard from Dan;(G)
at the neighing of their stallions
the whole land trembles.(H)
They have come to devour(I)
the land and everything in it,
the city and all who live there.
