Jeremiah 8:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ We ^(A)waited for peace, but no good came;
For a time of healing, but behold, terror!
¹⁶ From ^(B)Dan is heard the snorting of his horses;
At the sound of the neighing of his ^(C)stallions
The whole land quakes;
For they come and ^(D)devour the land and its fullness,
The city and its inhabitants.
¹⁷ “For behold, I am ^(E)sending serpents against you,
Adders, for which there is ^(F)no charm,
And they will bite you,” declares the Lord.
