Jeremiah 4:5-10
New International Version
Disaster From the North
5 “Announce in Judah and proclaim(A) in Jerusalem and say:
‘Sound the trumpet(B) throughout the land!’
Cry aloud and say:
‘Gather together!
Let us flee to the fortified cities!’(C)
6 Raise the signal(D) to go to Zion!
Flee for safety without delay!
For I am bringing disaster(E) from the north,(F)
even terrible destruction.”
7 A lion(G) has come out of his lair;(H)
a destroyer(I) of nations has set out.
He has left his place
to lay waste(J) your land.
Your towns will lie in ruins(K)
without inhabitant.
8 So put on sackcloth,(L)
lament(M) and wail,
for the fierce anger(N) of the Lord
has not turned away from us.
9 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“the king and the officials will lose heart,(O)
the priests will be horrified,
and the prophets will be appalled.”(P)
10 Then I said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! How completely you have deceived(Q) this people and Jerusalem by saying, ‘You will have peace,’(R) when the sword is at our throats!”
