Jeremiah 4:10–18
10Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You will have peace;’ whereas the sword reaches to the heart.”↗
11At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A hot wind blows from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse.↗
12A full wind from these will come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.”↗
13Behold, he will come up as clouds, and his chariots will be as the whirlwind. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For we are ruined.↗
14Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?↗
15For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:↗
16“Tell the nations, behold, publish against Jerusalem, ‘Watchers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.↗
17As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,’” says the LORD.↗
18“Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness, for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.”↗
