Jeremiah 4:11-18

11At that time it will be said to these people and to Jerusalem: “A hot wind from the heights will blow in the desert on the tracks of my people. It will not be a wind that winnows  or cleanses.

12It will be a stronger wind than that. It will come from me. Now, I will pass sentence on them.”

13The enemy comes up like clouds. His chariots are like a raging wind. His horses are faster than eagles. How horrible it will be for us! We will be destroyed!

14Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart so that you may be rescued. Don’t continue making evil plans.

15A message is heard from Dan, and a report of disaster comes from the mountains of Ephraim.

16Warn the nations about these things. Bring them to the attention of Jerusalem. “Hostile troops are coming from a distant country. They are shouting battle cries against the cities of Judah.

17They surround them like men guarding a field, because Judah has rebelled against me,” declares the Lord.

18“You brought this on yourself. This is your punishment. It is bitter. It breaks your heart.”
