Jeremiah 4:5-9
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem;
and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land:
cry, gather together, and say,
Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
6 Set up the standard toward Zion:
retire, stay not:
for I will bring evil from the north,
and a great destruction.
7 The lion is come up from his thicket,
and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way;
he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate;
and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
8 For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl:
for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us.
9 And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the Lord,
that the heart of the king shall perish,
and the heart of the princes;
and the priests shall be astonished,
and the prophets shall wonder.
