Jeremiah 8:14-17
World English Bible
14 “Why do we sit still?
Assemble yourselves!
Let’s enter into the fortified cities,
and let’s be silent there;
for Yahweh our God has put us to silence,
and given us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against Yahweh.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came;
and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan.
The whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones;
for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it,
the city and those who dwell therein.”
17 “For, behold, I will send serpents,
adders among you,
which will not be charmed;
and they will bite you,” says Yahweh.

New American Standard Bible
14 Why are we sitting still?
(A)Assemble yourselves, and let’s (B)go into the fortified cities
And perish there,
For the Lord our God has doomed us
And given us (C)poisoned water to drink,
Because (D)we have sinned against the Lord.
15 We (E)waited for peace, but no good came;
For a time of healing, but behold, terror!
16 From (F)Dan there is heard the snorting of his horses;
At the sound of the neighing of his (G)stallions
The whole land quakes;
For they come and (H)devour the land and its fullness,
The city and its inhabitants.
17 “For behold, I am (I)sending serpents among you,
Vipers for which there is (J)no charm;
And they will bite you,” declares the Lord.
