Jeremiah 4:6-8

21st Century King James Version

⁶ Set up the standard toward Zion. Retire, stay not! For I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.”

⁷ The lion has come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way. He has gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.

⁸ For this, gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl; for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us.
