Jeremiah 4:5-9

English Standard Version

^(A)“Blow the trumpet through the land;
    cry aloud and say,
^(B)‘Assemble, and let us go
    into the fortified cities!’
^6 (C)Raise a standard toward Zion,
    flee for safety, stay not,
for I bring disaster from ^(D)the north,
    ^(E)and great destruction.
^7 (F)A lion has gone up from his thicket,
    a destroyer of nations has set out;
    he has gone out from his place
to make your land a waste;
    your cities will be ruins
    ^(G)without inhabitant.
⁸ For this ^(H)put on sackcloth,
    lament and wail,
for ^(I)the fierce anger of the Lord
    has not turned back from us.”
