13I will surely gather them, declares Yahweh. There are no grapes on the vine, and no figs on the fig tree; even the leaf has withered, and what I gave them will pass away from them.

14Why are we sitting still? Gather yourselves, and let us enter the fortified cities and perish there, for Yahweh our God has doomed us and given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against Yahweh.

15We hoped for peace, but there was no good; for a time of healing, but behold, terror.

16From Dan is heard the snorting of his horses; at the sound of the neighing of his stallions the whole land quakes. They come and devour the land and its fullness, the city and those who dwell in it.

17For behold, I am sending among you snakes, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you, declares Yahweh.
