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
Common English Bible
13 Look! He approaches like the clouds;
his chariots advance like a tempest,
his horses swifter than eagles.
How horrible! We’re doomed!
14 Cleanse your heart of evil, Jerusalem,
that you may be saved.
How long will you entertain your destructive ideas?
15 A voice declares from Dan;
someone proclaims disaster from the highlands of Ephraim.
16 Warn the nations,
proclaim it to Jerusalem!
Armies are approaching from a far-away country,
raising their war cries against the towns of Judah.
17 They hem her in like those guarding a field,
because she has rebelled against me,
declares the Lord.
