Jeremiah 8:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ We looked for peace and completeness, but no good came, and for a time of healing, but behold, dismay, trouble, and terror!

¹⁶ The snorting of [Nebuchadnezzar’s] horses is heard from Dan [on the northern border of Palestine]. At the sound of the neighing of his strong war-horses the whole land quakes; for they come and devour the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it.

¹⁷ For behold, I am sending among you serpents, adders which cannot be charmed, and they shall bite you, says the Lord.
