Jeremiah 4:21

An Invasion From The North

²⁰ Disaster after disaster is reported
because the whole land is destroyed.
Suddenly my tents are destroyed,
my tent curtains, in a moment.
²¹ How long must I see the signal flag
and hear the sound of the ram’s horn? ²² “For My people are fools;
they do not know Me.
They are foolish children,
without understanding.
They are skilled in doing what is evil,
but they do not know how to do what is good.”
