Jeremiah 8:17-19
Evangelical Heritage Version
The Lord Responds
17 Look, I am sending snakes among you,
venomous snakes that cannot be charmed,
and they will bite you, declares the Lord.
Jeremiah Reacts
18 My joy is gone, grief is upon me,[a]
and my heart is sick.
19 I hear the cry of my dear people from a distant land:
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
Is her King not there?”
The Lord Responds
Why have they provoked my anger with their carved images,
with their worthless foreign idols?
