Jeremiah 8:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ We hoped peace would come.
    But nothing good has happened to us.
We hoped we would finally be healed.
    But there is only terror.
¹⁶ When our enemy’s horses snort,
    the noise is heard all the way from the city of Dan.
When their stallions neigh,
    the whole land trembles with fear.
They have come to destroy
    the land and everything in it.
    The city and everyone who lives there will be destroyed.
