Jeremiah 4:16-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ Warn the nations: Look!
Proclaim to Jerusalem:
Those who besiege are coming
from a distant land;^(A)
they raise their voices
against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ They have her surrounded^(B)
like those who guard a field,
because she has rebelled against me.^(C)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
¹⁸ Your way and your actions
have brought this on you.^(D)
This is your punishment. It is very bitter,
because it has reached your heart!
