Jeremiah 8:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ We had hoped for peace
and a time of healing,
    but all we got was terror.
¹⁶ Our enemies have reached
    the town of Dan in the north,
and the snorting of their horses
    makes us tremble with fear.
The enemy will destroy Jerusalem
and our entire nation.
    No one will survive.”
