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

¹³ “Behold, he goes up like clouds,
And his chariots like the whirlwind;
His horses are swifter than eagles.
Woe to us, for we are ruined!”
¹⁴ Wash your heart from evil, O Jerusalem,
That you may be saved.
How long will your wicked thoughts
Lodge within you?
¹⁵ For a voice declares from Dan,
And proclaims wickedness from Mount Ephraim.
¹⁶ “Report it to the nations, now!
Proclaim over Jerusalem,
‘Besiegers come from a far country,
And lift their voices against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ ‘Like watchmen of a field they are against her round about,
Because she has rebelled against Me,’ declares the Lord.
¹⁸ “Your ways and your deeds
Have brought these things to you.
This is your evil. How bitter!
How it has touched your heart!”
