Jeremiah 4:13-17

International Standard Version

¹³ Look, he comes up like clouds,
    and his chariots are like a whirlwind.
His horses are as swift as eagles.
    Woe to us—we’re destroyed!
¹⁴ Jerusalem, wash your evil from your heart
    so that you may be delivered.
How long will you harbor
    evil schemes within you?
¹⁵ For a voice announces from Dan
    and declares disaster from Mount Ephraim.

¹⁶ “Tell the nations, ‘Here they come!’^[a]
    Proclaim to Jerusalem,
‘The besieging forces are coming from a distant land.
    They cry out^[b] against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ They have surrounded her like those guarding a field
    because they have rebelled against me,’”
        declares the Lord.
