Jeremiah 8:17 in Context — Jeremiah 8
15 Esperamos paz, y no hubo bien; día de cura, y he aquí turbación.
16 Desde Dan se oyó el bufido de sus caballos: del sonido de los relinchos de sus fuertes tembló toda la tierra; y vinieron y devoraron la tierra y su abundancia, ciudad y moradores de ella.
17 Porque he aquí que yo envío sobre vosotros serpientes, basiliscos, contra los cuales no hay encantamiento; y os morderán, dice Jehová.
18 A causa de mi fuerte dolor mi corazón desfallece en mí.
19 He aquí voz del clamor de la hija de mi pueblo, que viene de la tierra lejana: ¿No está Jehová en Sión? ¿no está en ella su Rey? ¿Por qué me hicieron airar con sus imágenes de talla, con vanidades ajenas?
