JEREMIAH 4:5-18
« Jeremiah 3 | Jeremiah 4 | Jeremiah 5 »
Disaster from the North5 Declare in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say,“Blow the trumpet through the land;cry aloud and say,‘Assemble, and let us gointo the fortified cities!’ 6 Raise a standard toward Zion,flee for safety, stay not,for I bring disaster from the north,and great destruction. 7 A lion has gone up from his thicket,a destroyer of nations has set out;he has gone out from his placeto make your land a waste;your cities will be ruinswithout inhabitant. 8 For this put on sackcloth,lament and wail,for the fierce anger of the Lordhas not turned back from us.” 9 “In that day, declares the Lord, courage shall fail both king and officials. The priests shall be appalled and the prophets astounded.” 10 Then I said, “Ah, Lord God, surely you have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘It shall be well with you,’ whereas the sword has reached their very life.”The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version® copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
