Jeremiah 8:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 Why are we just sitting idly here?
It is time to mobilize.
Let us march into the fortified cities
and perish there.
For the Lord, our God, has doomed us for destruction
and given us poisoned water to drink
because we have sinned against him.
15 We are praying for peace, but to no avail;
for a time of healing,
only to be confronted with terror.
16 The snorting of horses is heard from Dan;
the neighing of his stallions
causes the entire land to quake.
The enemy is advancing to devour the land
and all that it contains,
the city and those who dwell there.

14 Why are we sitting here?
Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities(A)
and perish there!
For the Lord our God has doomed us to perish
and given us poisoned water(B) to drink,
because we have sinned(C) against him.
15 We hoped for peace(D)
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(E)
16 The snorting of the enemy’s horses(F)
is heard from Dan;(G)
at the neighing of their stallions
the whole land trembles.(H)
They have come to devour(I)
the land and everything in it,
the city and all who live there.
