Jeremiah 8:18

Read in context

Jeremiah 8:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 The snorting of enemy horses is heard from Dan. At the sound of the neighing of mighty steeds, the whole land quakes. They come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who dwell in it.

17 “For behold, I will send snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you,” declares the LORD.

18 My sorrow is beyond healing; my heart is faint within me.

19 Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?”

20 “The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved.”
