Jeremiah 4:14

An Invasion From The North

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.
