Jeremiah 8:14-16

Christian Standard Bible

God’s People Unrepentant

¹⁴Why are we just sitting here?
Gather together; let’s enter the fortified cities
and perish there,^[a]
for the Lord our God has destroyed^[b] us.
He has given us poisoned water to drink,^(A)
because we have sinned against the Lord.^(B)
¹⁵We hoped for peace, but there was nothing good;
for a time of healing, but there was only terror.^(C)

¹⁶From Dan, the snorting of horses is heard.
At the sound of the neighing of mighty steeds,^(D)
the whole land quakes.
They come to devour the land and everything in it,
the city and all its residents.
