Jeremiah 8:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

‘Yes! I am sending an enemy's army to attack you.
    They will be like dangerous snakes that have poison.
Nobody can stop them!
    They will bite you and kill you.’

‘I am very sad and upset.
    I will never get better again.
¹⁹ Listen to my dear people!
    They are calling out for help everywhere in the land.
They are saying, “Is the Lord still with us in Zion?
    Is he still there to rule us as our King?” ’

‘They worship images of false gods.
    and useless foreign idols.
That has made me very angry.’
