Jeremiah 8:17-19
New King James Version
17 “For behold, I will send serpents among you,
Vipers which cannot be (A)charmed,
And they shall bite you,” says the Lord.
The Prophet Mourns for the People
18 I would comfort myself in sorrow;
My heart is faint in me.
19 Listen! The voice,
The cry of the daughter of my people
From (B)a far country:
“Is not the Lord in Zion?
Is not her King in her?”
“Why have they provoked Me to anger
With their carved images—
With foreign idols?”
Jeremiah 8:17-19

17 “See, I will send venomous snakes(A) among you,
vipers that cannot be charmed,(B)
and they will bite you,”
declares the Lord.
