Jeremiah 8:14-17
New International Version
Jeremiah 8:14-17
New International Version
14 Why are we sitting here?
Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(A)
and perish there!
For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and given us poisoned water(B) to drink,
because we have sinned(C) against him.
15 We hoped for peace(D)
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(E)
16 The snorting of the enemy’s horses(F)
is heard from Dan;(G)
at the neighing of their stallions
the whole land trembles.(H)
They have come to devour(I)
the land and everything in it,
the city and all who live there.

Jeremiah 8:14-17
English Standard Version
14 Why do we sit still?
(A)Gather together; (B)let us go into the fortified cities
and perish there,
for the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and has (C)given us (D)poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 (E)We looked for peace, but no good came;
for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
16 (F)“The snorting of their horses is heard (G)from Dan;
at the sound of the neighing (H)of their stallions
(I)the whole land quakes.
They come (J)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 (K)serpents,
adders (L)that cannot be charmed,
(M)and they shall bite you,”
declares the Lord.
