18 My sorrow is beyond healing;
my heart is faint within me.
19 Listen! The cry of the daughter of my people
from a far country:
“Is not the Lord in Zion?
Is not her king in her?”
“Why have they provoked Me to anger with their graven images,
with foreign vanities?”

vipers that cannot be charmed,(B)
and they will bite you,”
