Jeremiah 8:17-19

Jeremiah 8:17-19

[17] For, behold, I will send  serpents,  cockatrices,  among you, which will not be charmed,  and they shall bite  you, saith  the LORD.  [18] When I would comfort  myself against sorrow,  my heart  is faint  [19] 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?
