In context

14Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the strong cities, and let us be cast out there: for God has cast us out, and made us drink water of gall, because we have sinned before him.

15We assembled for peace, but there was no prosperity; for a time of healing, but behold anxiety.

— Jeremiah 8:16 —

17For, behold, I send forth against you deadly serpents, which cannot be charmed, and they shall bite you

18mortally with the pain of your distressed heart.
