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

¹³ Look, he advances like clouds;
his chariots are like a storm.
His horses are swifter than eagles.
Woe to us, for we are ruined!
¹⁴ Wash the evil from your heart, Jerusalem,
so that you will be delivered.
How long will you harbor
malicious thoughts within you?
¹⁵ For a voice announces from Dan,
proclaiming malice from Mount Ephraim.
¹⁶ Warn the nations: Look!
Proclaim to Jerusalem:
Those who besiege are coming
from a distant land;
they raise their voices
against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ They have her surrounded
like those who guard a field,
because she has rebelled against Me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
¹⁸ Your way of life and your actions
have brought this on you.
This is your punishment. It is very bitter,
because it has reached your heart!
