Jeremiah 4:13-18 - Judah Is Surrounded By Enemies

¹³ See, he will come up like the clouds, and his war-carriages like the storm-wind: his horses are quicker than eagles. Sorrow is ours, for destruction has come on us. ¹⁴ O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you? ¹⁵ For a voice is sounding from Dan, giving out evil from the hills of Ephraim: ¹⁶ Make this come to the minds of the nations, make a statement openly against Jerusalem, that attackers are coming from a far country and their voices will be loud against the towns of Judah. ¹⁷ Like keepers of a field they are against her on every side; because she has been fighting against me, says the Lord. ¹⁸ Your ways and your doings have made these things come on you; this is your sin; truly it is bitter, going deep into your heart.
