17 For behold, I am sending among you (A)serpents,
    adders (B)that cannot be charmed,
    (C)and they shall bite you,”
declares the Lord.

Jeremiah Grieves for His People

18 My joy is gone; grief is upon me;[a]
    (D)my heart is sick within me.
19 Behold, the cry of the daughter of my people
    from (E)the length and breadth of the land:
“Is the Lord not in Zion?
    (F)Is her King not in her?”
(G)“Why have they provoked me to anger with their carved images
    and with their foreign idols?”
