Jeremiah 8:15 in context
- 13“ ‘I will utterly consume them, says Yahweh.
No grapes will be on the vine,
no figs on the fig tree,
and the leaf will fade.
The things that I have given them
will pass away from them.’ ” - 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. - 15We looked for peace, but no good came;
and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay! - 16The 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.
