Jeremiah 4:5-9
Christian Standard Bible
Judgment from the North
5 Declare in Judah, proclaim in Jerusalem, and say,
Blow the ram’s horn throughout the land.(A)
Cry out loudly and say,
“Assemble yourselves,
and let’s flee to the fortified cities.”
6 Lift up a signal flag toward Zion.(B)
Run for cover! Don’t stand still!
For I am bringing disaster from the north—
a crushing blow.(C)
7 A lion has gone up from his thicket;(D)
a destroyer of nations has set out.
He has left his lair
to make your land a waste.
Your cities will be reduced to uninhabited ruins.(E)
8 Because of this, put on sackcloth;
mourn and wail,(F)
for the Lord’s burning anger(G)
has not turned away from us.
9 “On that day”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“the king and the officials will lose their courage. The priests will tremble in fear, and the prophets will be scared speechless.”
