Jeremiah 4:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³Look! The enemy army
swoops down like an eagle;
their cavalry and chariots
race faster than storm clouds
blown by the wind.”

Then you will answer,
“We are doomed!”

¹⁴But Jerusalem, there is still time
    for you to be saved.
Wash the evil from your hearts
    and stop making sinful plans,
¹⁵before a message of disaster
arrives from the hills of Ephraim
    and the town of Dan.^[a]
