Rashi, on Jer 8:14

“Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced city, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and hath given us water of gall to drink: for we have sinned against the Lord.”

“and there let us sit in silence And let us be silent there. Let us sit there silent and mournful. poisoned water Jonathan renders: the cup of the curse, like the venom of serpents. The venom of the serpents is the poison that is in his teeth.”
