Jeremiah 4:13-17

Common English Bible

¹³ Look! He approaches like the clouds;
        his chariots advance like a tempest,
        his horses swifter than eagles.
    How horrible! We’re doomed!
¹⁴ Cleanse your heart of evil, Jerusalem,
    that you may be saved.
    How long will you entertain your destructive ideas?
¹⁵ A voice declares from Dan;
    someone proclaims disaster from the highlands of Ephraim.
¹⁶ Warn the nations,
    proclaim it to Jerusalem!
        Armies are approaching from a far-away country,
        raising their war cries against the towns of Judah.
¹⁷ They hem her in like those guarding a field,
    because she has rebelled against me,
        declares the Lord.
