I will surely consume them, saith the Lord: [there shall be] no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and [the things that] I have given them shall pass away from them (8:13) Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord (8:14) We looked for peace, but no good [came; and] for a time of health, and behold trouble! (8:15) The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein (8:16) For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which [will] not [be] charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord (8:17) [When] I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart [is] faint in me (8:18) Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: [Is] not the Lord in Zion? [is] not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, [and] with strange vanities? (8:19) The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved (8:20) For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me (8:21) [Is there] no balm in Gilead; [is there] no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
(8:22)
