Jeremiah 8

11  And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

12  Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith Jehovah.

13  I will utterly consume them, saith Jehovah: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf shall fade; and `the things that' I have given them shall pass away from them.

14  Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for Jehovah our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against Jehovah.

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: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembleth; for they are come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those that dwell therein.

17  For, behold, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you, saith Jehovah.

18  Oh that I could comfort myself against sorrow! my heart is faint within me.

19  Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: is not Jehovah in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with foreign vanities?

20  The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
