Jeremiah 8:15

The Nation Longs For Yahweh's Help

¹⁴ Why are we seated doing nothing? come together, and let us go to the walled towns, and let destruction overtake us there, for the Lord our God has sent destruction on us, and given us bitter water for our drink, because we have done evil against the Lord. ¹⁵ We were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there is only a great fear. ¹⁶ The loud breathing of the horses comes to our ears from Dan: at the sound of the outcry of his war-horses, all the land is shaking with fear; for they have come, and have made a meal of the land and everything in it; the town and the people living in it.

No Peace

No

Jeremiah 14:19

Have you completely given up Judah? is your soul turned in disgust from Zion? why have you given us blows from which there is no one to make us well? we were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there was only a great fear.

Jeremiah 4:10

Then said I, Ah, Lord God! your words were not true when you said to this people and to Jerusalem, You will have peace; when the sword has come even to the soul.

Jeremiah 8:11

And they have made little of the wounds of the daughter of Zion, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.
