Jeremiah 8:16-18
International Children’s Bible
16 From the land of the tribe of Dan,
the snorting of the enemy’s horses is heard.
The ground shakes from the neighing of their large horses.
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.”
17 “Look! I am sending poisonous snakes to attack you.
These snakes cannot be charmed.
They will bite you,” says the Lord.
Jeremiah’s Sadness
18 God, you are my comfort when I am very sad.
You are my comfort when I’m afraid.

16 (A)“The snorting of their horses is heard (B)from Dan;
at the sound of the neighing (C)of their stallions
(D)the whole land quakes.
They come (E)and devour the land and all that fills it,
the city and those who dwell in it.
17 For behold, I am sending among you (F)serpents,
adders (G)that cannot be charmed,
(H)and they shall bite you,”
declares the Lord.
