An army will come out,
    like a lion from its den.
It will destroy nations
and leave your towns empty
    and in ruins.”

Then I told the people
    of Israel,
“Put on sackcloth![a]
    Mourn and cry out,
‘The Lord is still angry
    with us.’ ”

The Lord said,

“When all this happens,
    the king and his officials,
the prophets and the priests
    will be shocked and terrified.”
