Jeremiah 8:17-19
Christian Standard Bible
17 Indeed, I am about to send snakes among you,
poisonous vipers(A) that cannot be charmed.(B)
They will bite you.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Lament over Judah
18 My joy has flown away;
grief has settled on me.
My heart is sick.(C)
19 Listen—the cry of my dear people
from a faraway land,
“Is the Lord no longer in Zion,(D)
her King not within her?”
Why have they angered me
with their carved images,
with their worthless foreign idols?(E)
Jeremiah 8:17-19
New International Version
17 “See, I will send venomous snakes(A) among you,
vipers that cannot be charmed,(B)
and they will bite you,”
declares the Lord.
