They have come to devour(D)
    the land and everything in it,
    the city and all who live there.

    vipers that cannot be charmed,(F)
    and they will bite you,”
declares the Lord.

18 You who are my Comforter[a] in sorrow,
    my heart is faint(G) within me.

  1. Jeremiah 8:18 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.

18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
