Jeremiah 4:13-17
English Standard Version
13 Behold, he comes up like clouds;
(A)his chariots like the whirlwind;
his horses are (B)swifter than eagles—
woe to us, (C)for we are ruined!
14 O Jerusalem, (D)wash your heart from evil,
that you may be saved.
How long shall your wicked thoughts
lodge within you?
15 For a voice (E)declares from Dan
and proclaims trouble from (F)Mount Ephraim.
16 Warn the nations that he is coming;
announce to Jerusalem,
“Besiegers come (G)from a distant land;
they shout against the cities of Judah.
17 Like keepers of a field (H)are they against her all around,
because she has rebelled against me,
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 4:13-17
Lexham English Bible
13 Look, he comes up like the clouds,
and his chariots are like the whirlwind,
his horses are swifter than eagles,
woe to us, for we are devastated.
14 Cleanse your heart from wickedness, O Jerusalem,
so that you may be saved.
How long[a] will your thoughts of mischief
dwell in your inner part?
15 For a voice is declaring from Dan,
and is proclaiming disaster from the mountain of Ephraim.
16 “Report to the nations, ‘Here they are!’
Proclaim against Jerusalem,
‘Besiegers are coming from a distant land,[b]
and they raise their voice against the cities of Judah.’
17 Like watchers of a field they were against her from all around,
because she has rebelled against me,” declares[c] Yahweh.
