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
New Living Translation
13 Our enemy rushes down on us like storm clouds!
His chariots are like whirlwinds.
His horses are swifter than eagles.
How terrible it will be, for we are doomed!
14 O Jerusalem, cleanse your heart
that you may be saved.
How long will you harbor
your evil thoughts?
15 Your destruction has been announced
from Dan and the hill country of Ephraim.
16 “Warn the surrounding nations
and announce this to Jerusalem:
The enemy is coming from a distant land,
raising a battle cry against the towns of Judah.
17 They surround Jerusalem like watchmen around a field,
for my people have rebelled against me,”
says the Lord.
