Jeremiah 4:13-17

Expanded Bible

¹³ Look! ·The enemy [^LHe] rises up like a cloud,
    and his chariots come like a ·tornado [whirlwind].
His horses are faster than eagles.
    ·How terrible it will be for [Woe to] us! We are ·ruined [devastated]!
¹⁴ People of Jerusalem, ·clean [wash] the evil from your hearts so that you can be ·saved [rescued; 2:22; Ps. 51:7].
    ·Don’t continue making [^LHow long will you lodge in your heart/mind] evil plans.
¹⁵ A voice from Dan makes an announcement
    and ·brings bad news [^Lproclaims disaster/trouble] from the mountains of Ephraim.
¹⁶ “Report this to the nations.
    ·Spread this news [^LMake it heard] in Jerusalem:
‘Invaders are coming from a faraway country [^CBabylon],
    shouting [^Cwar cries] against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ The enemy has surrounded Jerusalem as men guard a field,
    because Judah ·turned [rebelled; transgressed] against me,’” says the Lord.
