Jeremiah 8:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ We are praying for peace, but to no avail;
    for a time of healing,
    only to be confronted with terror.
¹⁶ The snorting of horses is heard from Dan;
    the neighing of his stallions
    causes the entire land to quake.
The enemy is advancing to devour the land
    and all that it contains,
    the city and those who dwell there.
¹⁷ Behold, I will send against you
    venomous snakes that cannot be charmed,
    and they will bite you, says the Lord.
