Jeremiah 8:14-16
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 [Then say the people to each other] Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities and be silent or perish there! For the Lord our God has decreed our ruin and given us bitter and poisonous water to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord.
15 We looked for peace and completeness, but no good came, and for a time of healing, but behold, dismay, trouble, and terror!
16 The snorting of [Nebuchadnezzar’s] horses is heard from Dan [on the northern border of Palestine]. At the sound of the neighing of his strong war-horses the whole land quakes; for they come and devour the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it.

Jeremiah 8:14-16
New International Version
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.
