Jeremiah 4:14-18

14People of Jerusalem, remove the evil things from your lives. Then the Lord may save you. Do not continue to have wicked ideas.

15People are bringing a message from Dan and from the hill country of Ephraim. The message says that great trouble is coming.

16They say, ‘Warn all the nations that the enemy is coming!’ Shout this message in Jerusalem: ‘An army is coming from a country that is far away. They will attack the towns in Judah.

17Their soldiers are all around Jerusalem's walls, like guards around a farmer's field.’ The Lord says, ‘This will happen because the people of Judah have turned against me.

18I will punish you very much, because that is what you deserve. You have lived in a wicked way and you have done evil things. My punishment will give you pain that goes all through you.’
