‏ Jeremiah 8:14

14. assemble--for defense.

let us be silent--not assault the enemy, but merely defend ourselves in quiet, until the storm blow over.

put us to silence--brought us to that state that we can no longer resist the foe; implying silent despair.

water of gall--literally, "water of the poisonous plant," perhaps the poppy (Jr 9:15; 23:15).
