Jeremiah 4:13-17
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Behold, he shall come up as the [a]clouds, and his chariots shall be as a tempest: his horses are lighter than eagles. [b]Woe unto us, for we are destroyed.
14 O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved: how long shall thy wicked thoughts remain within thee?
15 For a voice declareth from [c]Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount [d]Ephraim.
16 Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Jerusalem, Behold, the scouts come from a far country, and cry out against the cities of Judah.
17 They have compassed her about as the watchmen of the [e]field, because it hath provoked me unto wrath, saith the Lord.
