16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan.
    The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones;
for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it,
    the city and those who dwell therein.”
17 “For, behold, I will send serpents,

    and they will bite you,” says Yahweh.
18 Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow!
    My heart is faint within me.
