Jeremiah 4:15

An Invasion From The North

¹⁴
O Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness,
That you may be saved.
How long will your wicked and immoral thoughts
Lodge within you?
¹⁵ 
For a voice declares from Dan [far in the north],
And proclaims evil from Mount Ephraim.
¹⁶
“Warn the [neighboring] nations now [that our enemy is coming]!
Announce to Jerusalem,
‘Besiegers are coming from a far country,
And they lift their voices and shout against the cities of Judah.

The city and those who live in it.

“Run for safety, you children of Benjamin,
Out of the midst of Jerusalem!

And raise a signal-fire in Beth-haccherem [near Jerusalem];
For evil is looking down [with eager anticipation] from the north,
And great destruction.
