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

¹³ Look, he comes up like the clouds, and his chariots [are] like the whirlwind, his horses are swifter than eagles, woe to us, for we are devastated. ¹⁴ Cleanse your heart from wickedness, Jerusalem, so that you may be saved. {How long} will your thoughts of mischief dwell in your inner part? ¹⁵ For a voice [is] declaring from Dan, and [is] proclaiming disaster from the mountain of Ephraim. ¹⁶ "Report to the nations, 'Here they are!' Proclaim against Jerusalem, 'Besiegers [are] coming {from a distant land}, and they raise their voice against the cities of Judah.' ¹⁷ Like watchers of a field they were against her from all around, because she has rebelled against me," {declares} Yahweh. ¹⁸ "You obtained this for yourself [because of] your way and your deeds. This [is] your doom, for [it is] bitter, yes, it has reached up to your heart."
