Jeremiah 8:16Easy To Read VersionFrom the land of the family group of Dan,\par we hear the snorting {\cf2\super [71]} \par of the enemy’s horses.\par The ground shakes from the pounding\par of their hooves. {\cf2\super [72]} \par They have come to destroy the land\par and everything in it.\par They have come to destroy the city\par and all the people that live there.\par See the chapter |
Those nations destroyed you,\par but now they have been destroyed.\par Israel and Judah,\par your enemies will become captives. {\cf2\super [240]} \par Those people stole things from you.\par But other people will steal from them.\par Those people took things from you in war.\par But other people will take things\par from them in war.\par
Those soldiers will eat all the crops\par that you gathered.\par They will eat all of your food.\par They will eat (destroy) your sons\par and daughters.\par They will eat your flocks and your herds.\par They will eat your grapes and your figs.\par They will destroy your strong cities\par with their swords.\par They will destroy the strong cities\par that you trust in!\par
The soldiers carry bows and spears.\par They are cruel.\par They have no mercy.\par They are so powerful.\par They sound like the roaring ocean\par as they ride their horses.\par That army is coming ready for battle.\par That army is coming to attack you,\par Daughter of Zion.” {\cf2\super [46]} \par
