Jeremiah 8:14-16
International Standard Version
The People Respond
14 Why are we sitting here?
Join together! Let’s go to the fortified cities
and perish there!
For the Lord our God has condemned us to perish
and given us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against him.[a]
15 We waited for peace, but no good has come,
for a time of healing, but instead there was terror.
The Lord’s Warning
16 “The snorting of their horses is heard from Dan.
At the neighing of their stallions,
the whole earth quakes.
They’re coming to devour
the land and all it contains,
the city and all who live in it.
