16 From (A)Dan is heard the snorting of his horses;
At the sound of the neighing of his (B)valiant steeds
The whole land quakes;
And they come and (C)devour the land as well as its fullness,
The city and its inhabitants.
17 “For behold, I am (D)sending serpents against you,
Vipers, for which there is (E)no charm,
And they will bite you,” declares Yahweh.

Sorrow over Zion

18 [a]My (F)sorrow is beyond healing;
My (G)heart is faint within me!
