Jeremiah 4:13-17
Legacy Standard Bible
13 Behold, he (A)goes up like clouds,
And his (B)chariots like the whirlwind;
His horses are (C)swifter than eagles.
Woe to us, for (D)we are devastated!”
14 Wash your heart from evil, O Jerusalem,
That you may be saved.
How long will your (E)wicked thoughts
Lodge within you?
15 For a voice declares from (F)Dan,
And makes wickedness heard from Mount Ephraim.
16 “Make mention of it to the nations, saying, ‘Behold!’
Make it heard over Jerusalem,
‘Besiegers come from a (G)far country,
And (H)give forth their voices against the cities of Judah.
17 Like watchmen of a field they are (I)against her round about
Because she has (J)rebelled against Me,’ declares Yahweh.
Jeremiah 4:13-17
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 Look! He rises up like clouds.
His chariots are like a whirlwind.
His horses are faster than eagles!
“We are doomed! We are ruined!”
14 Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart
so that you will be saved.
How long will your wicked thoughts live inside you?
15 A voice declares from Dan,[a]
and a report of disaster comes from the hills of Ephraim.
16 Announce this to the nations.
Make Jerusalem hear it.
A besieging army is coming from a distant land,
raising a war cry against the cities of Judah.
17 They have surrounded her like men watching a field,
because she has rebelled against me, declares the Lord.
