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.
