Compare all
15 “We alooked for peace, but no good came;
And for a time of health, and there was trouble! 
16 The snorting of His horses was heard from aDan.
The whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His bstrong ones;
For they have come and devoured the land and all that is in it,
The city and those who dwell in it.” 
17 “For behold, I will send serpents among you,
Vipers which cannot be acharmed,
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 aa 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

I will send serpents - These were symbols of the enemies that were coming against them; a foe that would rather slay them and destroy the land than get booty and ransom.
