Jeremiah 4:5-10

5DeclareH5046 ye in JudahH3063, and publish in JerusalemH3389; and sayH559, BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in the landH776: cry aloud and sayH559, Assemble yourselves, and let us goH935 into the fortified citiesH5892. 6SetH5975 up a standardH5251 toward ZionH6726: flee for safety, stay not; for I will bringH935 evilH7451 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 destructionH7667. 7A lionH738 is goneH3318 up from his thicket, and a destroyerH7843 of nationsH1471; he is on his way, he is goneH3318 forthH3318 from his placeH4725, to makeH7760 thy landH776 desolate, that thy citiesH5892 be laid wasteH8047, without inhabitantH3427. 8For this girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242, lamentH5594 and wailH3213; for the fierce angerH639 of Jehovah is not turnedH7725 backH7725 from us. 9And it shall come to pass at that dayH3117, saith Jehovah, that the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 shall perishH6, and the heartH3820 of the princesH8269; and the priestsH3548 shall beH1961 astonished, and the prophetsH5030 shall wonder.

10Then saidH559 I, Ah, LordH136 Jehovah! surely thou hast greatly deceived this peopleH5971 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Ye shall have peaceH7965; whereas the swordH2719 reacheth unto the lifeH5315.
