Jeremiah 8:16-18
Living Bible
16 The noise of war resounds from the northern border.[a] The whole land trembles at the approach of the terrible army, for the enemy is coming and is devouring the land and everything in it—the cities and people alike. 17 For I will send these enemy troops among you like poisonous snakes that you cannot charm. No matter what you do, they will bite you and you shall die.
18 My grief is beyond healing; my heart is broken.
