Jeremiah 8:17-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁷ “For behold, I am ^(A)sending serpents against you,
Adders, for which there is ^(B)no charm,
And they will bite you,” declares the Lord.

^18 [a]My ^(C)sorrow is beyond healing,
My ^(D)heart is faint within me!
¹⁹ Behold, listen! The cry of the daughter of my people from a ^(E)distant land:
“Is the Lord not in Zion? Is her King not within her?”
“Why have they ^(F)provoked Me with their graven images, with foreign ^[b](G)idols?”
