Jeremiah 8:14-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
14
Why are we sitting
still?
Assemble yourselves, and let’s go into the fortified cities
And perish there,
For the
Lord
our God has doomed us
And given us poisoned water to drink,
Because we have sinned against the
Lord
.
15
We
waited for peace, but no good
came;
For a time of healing, but behold, terror!
16
From Dan there is heard the snorting of his horses;
At the sound of the neighing of his stallions
The whole land quakes;
For they come and devour the land and its fullness,
The city and its inhabitants.
17
'For behold, I am sending serpents among you,
Vipers for which there is no charm;
And they will bite you,' declares the
Lord
.
18
My sorrow is beyond healing,
My heart is faint within me!
19
Behold, listen! The cry of the daughter of my people from a distant land:
'Is the
Lord
not in Zion? Is her King not within her?'
'Why have they provoked Me with their carved images, with foreign idols?'
20
'Harvest is past, summer is over,
And we are not saved.'
King James Version
Chapter 8
14
Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the
Lord
our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the
Lord
.
15
We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
16
The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; 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, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the
Lord
.
18
When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
19
Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the
Lord
in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
20
The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
14
Why are we just sitting here?
Gather together; let us enter the fortified cities
and perish there,
for the
Lord
our God has destroyed us.
He has given us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against the
Lord
.
15
We hoped for peace, but there was nothing good;
for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
16
From Dan, the snorting of horses is heard.
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 its residents.
17
Indeed, I am about to send snakes among you,
poisonous vipers that cannot be charmed.
They will bite you. This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
18
My joy has flown away;
grief has settled on me.
My heart is sick.
19
Listen—the cry of my dear people
from a faraway land,
"Is the
Lord
no longer in Zion,
her King not within her?"
Why have they angered me
with their carved images,
with their worthless foreign idols?
20
Harvest has passed, summer has ended,
but we have not been saved.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
14
'Then the people will say,
‘Why should we wait here to die?
Come, let’s go to the fortified towns and die there.
For the
Lord
our God has decreed our destruction
and has given us a cup of poison to drink
because we sinned against the
Lord
.
15
We hoped for peace, but no peace came.
We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror.’
16
'The snorting of the enemies’ warhorses can be heard
all the way from the land of Dan in the north!
The neighing of their stallions makes the whole land tremble.
They are coming to devour the land and everything in it —
cities and people alike.
17
I will send these enemy troops among you
like poisonous snakes you cannot charm.
They will bite you, and you will die.
I, the
Lord
, have spoken!'
18
My grief is beyond healing;
my heart is broken.
19
Listen to the weeping of my people;
it can be heard all across the land.
'Has the
Lord
abandoned Jerusalem? ' the people ask.
'Is her King no longer there?'
'Oh, why have they provoked my anger with their carved idols
and their worthless foreign gods?' says the
Lord
.
20
'The harvest is finished,
and the summer is gone,' the people cry,
'yet we are not saved!'
English Standard Version

Lord
.
18
My joy is gone; grief is upon me;
my heart is sick within me.
19
Behold, the cry of the daughter of my people
from the length and breadth of the land:

Lord
not in Zion?
Is her King not in her?"
"Why have they provoked me to anger with their carved images

14
Why are we sitting here?
Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities
and perish there!
For the
Lord
our God has doomed us to perish
and given us poisoned water to drink,
because we have sinned against him.
15
We hoped for peace
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.
16
The snorting of the enemy’s horses
is heard from Dan;
at the neighing of their stallions
the whole land trembles.
They have come to devour
the land and everything in it,
the city and all who live there.
17
"See, I will send venomous snakes among you,
vipers that cannot be charmed,
and they will bite you,"
declares the
Lord
.
18
You who are my Comforter in sorrow,
my heart is faint within me.
19
Listen to the cry of my people
from a land far away:
"Is the
Lord
not in Zion?
Is her King no longer there?" "Why have they aroused my anger with their images,
with their worthless foreign idols?"
20
"The harvest is past,
the summer has ended,
and we are not saved."

And given us water of gall to drink,
Because we have sinned against the

And for a time of health, and there was trouble!

The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His strong ones;
For they have come and devoured the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who dwell in it.”

“For behold, I will send serpents among you,
Vipers which cannot be charmed,
And they shall bite you,” says the
Lord
.

My heart
is
faint in me.
19
Listen! The voice,
The cry of the daughter of my people
From a far country:
“
Is
not the
Lord
in Zion?
Is
not her King in her?”
“Why have they provoked Me to anger
With their carved images—
With foreign idols?”
20
“The harvest is past,
The summer is ended,
And we are not saved!”
