We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 15 is found in chapter 8 of Jeremiah. The scribes and religious leaders possess the law, but use it in a way that does not produce obedience. The statement about the wise being put to shame shows that religious knowledge without faithfulness becomes deception. The threat of poisonous serpents that cannot be charmed expresses the inevitability of judgment.

Wir hofften, es sollte Friede werden, so kommt nichts Gutes; wir hofften, wir sollten heil werden, aber siehe, so ist mehr Schaden da.
Esperamos paz, y no hubo bien; día de cura, y he aquí turbación.
Esperábamos paz, pero no llega ningún bien; un tiempo de curación, pero solo hay terror».
Nous espérions la paix, et il n'arrive rien d'heureux; Un temps de guérison, et voici la terreur! -
Ei si sta aspettando pace, ma non vi è bene alcuno; il tempo della guarigione, ed ecco turbamento.
Espera-se a paz, mas não há bem; o tempo da cura, e eis o terror.
我們指望平安, 卻得不著福氣; 指望痊癒的時刻, 看哪,受了驚惶。
