Jeremiah 4:17

An Invasion From The North

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!
