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.
