Jeremiah 8:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
We waited for peace and salvation, but no good came,
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
¹⁶ 
The snorting of [Nebuchadnezzar’s] horses is heard from Dan [on Palestine’s northern border].
At the sound of the neighing of his strong stallions
The whole land quakes;
For they come and devour the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who live in it.
¹⁷ 
“For behold, I am sending serpents among you,
Vipers which cannot be charmed,
And they will bite you,” says the Lord.
