Jeremiah 4:13-17

Revised Standard Version

¹³ Behold, he comes up like clouds,
    his chariots like the whirlwind;
his horses are swifter than eagles—
    woe to us, for we are ruined!
¹⁴ O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness,
    that you may be saved.
How long shall your evil thoughts
    lodge within you?
¹⁵ For a voice declares from Dan
    and proclaims evil from Mount E′phraim.
¹⁶ Warn the nations that he is coming;
    announce to Jerusalem,
“Besiegers come from a distant land;
    they shout against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ Like keepers of a field are they against her round about,
    because she has rebelled against me,
                says the Lord.
