Jeremiah 4:13-17

International Children’s Bible

¹³ Look! The enemy rises up like a cloud.
    His chariots come like a windstorm.
His horses are faster than eagles.
    How terrible it will be for us! We are ruined!
¹⁴ People of Jerusalem, clean the evil from your hearts and be saved.
    Don’t continue making evil plans.
¹⁵ A voice from Dan makes an announcement.
    From the mountains of Ephraim someone brings bad news.
¹⁶ “Report this to the nations.
    Spread this news in Jerusalem:
‘Enemies are coming from a faraway country.
    They are shouting words of war against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ The enemy has surrounded Jerusalem as men guard a field.
    This is because Judah turned against me,’” says the Lord.
