Jeremiah 8:17-19
International Standard Version
17 Look, I’ll send snakes among you,
vipers that cannot be charmed,
and they’ll bite you.”
Jeremiah Mourns for His People
18 Incurable sorrow has overwhelmed me,
my heart is sick within me.
19 Listen! My people[a] cry
from a distant land:
“Is the Lord no longer in Zion?
Is her king no longer there?”
The Lord Speaks
“Why did they provoke me to anger with their images,
with their worthless foreign gods?”
