Jeremiah 8:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ We hoped to have peace,
    but nothing good has come.
We hoped that he would forgive us,
    but only disaster has come.
¹⁶ From the land of the tribe of Dan,
    we hear the snorting^[a] of the enemy’s horses.
    The ground shakes from the pounding of their hooves.
They have come to destroy the land
    and everything in it.
They have come to destroy the city
    and all the people who live there.’”
