Jeremiah 4:5-10

5Declare in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say, "Blow the trumpet through the land; cry aloud and say, 'Assemble, and let us go into the fortified cities!'

6Raise a standard toward Zion, flee for safety, stay not, for I bring disaster from the north, and great destruction.

7A lion has gone up from his thicket, a destroyer of nations has set out; he has gone out from his place to make your land a waste; your cities will be ruins without inhabitant.

8For this put on sackcloth, lament and wail, for the fierce anger of the Lord has not turned back from us."

9"In that day, declares the Lord, courage shall fail both king and officials. The priests shall be appalled and the prophets astounded."

10Then I said, "Ah, Lord God, surely you have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, 'It shall be well with you,' whereas the sword has reached their very life."
