Jeremiah 4:5-18

5DeclareH5046 ye in JudahH3063, and publish in JerusalemH3389; and sayH559, BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in the landH776: cryH7121 aloudH8085 and sayH559? AssembleH622 yourselves, and letH5046 usH413 goH935 intoH413 the fenced citiesH5892.

6SetH5975 upH5375 a standardH5251 towardH935 ZionH6726: fleeH5756 for safetyH5756, stayH5975 notH408: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 destructionH7667.

7A lionH738 is goneH3318 upH5927 from his thicketH5441, and a destroyerH7843 of nationsH1471; he is on his way, he is goneH3318 forthH3318 from his placeH4725; to makeH7760 thy landH776 desolateH8047, that thy citiesH5892 be laidH7760 wasteH8047, withoutH369 inhabitantH3427.

8For this girdH2296 youH3588 with sackclothH8242, lamentH5594 and howlH3213: for the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 is notH3808 turnedH7725 backH7725 from usH5921.

9And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 at that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068, that the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 shall perishH6, and the heartH3820 of the princesH8269; and the priestsH3548 shall be astonishedH8074, and the prophetsH5030 shall wonderH8539.

10Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH136! surelyH403 thou hast greatly deceived this peopleH5971 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Ye shall have peaceH7965; whereas the swordH2719 reacheth unto the soulH5315.

11At that time shall it be saidH559 to this peopleH5971 and to JerusalemH3389, A hot windH7307 from the bareH8205 heightsH8205 in the wildernessH4057 towardH1870 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, notH3808 to fan, norH3808 to cleanseH1305;

12a fullH4392 windH7307 from theseH428 shall comeH935 for meH935: nowH6258 will I also utterH1696 judgmentsH4941 againstH854 them.

13BeholdH2009, he shall comeH5927 upH5927 as cloudsH6051, and his chariotsH4818 shall be as the whirlwind: his horsesH5483 are swifterH7043 thanH3588 eaglesH5404. WoeH188 unto usH3588! for weH3588 are spoiled.

14O JerusalemH3389, washH3526 thine heartH3820 from wickednessH205, that thou mayest be savedH3467. HowH4970 longH5704 shall thine evilH7451 thoughtsH4284 lodge withinH7130 thee?

15For a voiceH6963 declareth from DanH1835, and publisheth evilH205 from the hillsH2022 of EphraimH669:

16makeH5414 ye mentionH2142 to the nationsH1471; beholdH2009, publish againstH5921 JerusalemH3389, that watchers comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, and giveH5414 outH5921 their voiceH6963 againstH5921 the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063.

17As keepersH8104 of a fieldH7704 are they againstH5921 herH5921 roundH5439 aboutH1961; becauseH3588 sheH3588 hath been rebelliousH4784 againstH5921 meH5921, saith the LORDH3068.

18Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procured theseH428 things unto thee; this is thy wickednessH7451; for it is bitterH4751, for it reacheth unto thine heartH3820.
