Jeremiah 4:5-20
5DeclareH5046 ye in JudahH3063, and proclaimH8085 in JerusalemH3389; and sayH559, BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in the landH776: cryH7121, confirmH4390, and sayH559, AssembleH622 yourselves, and let us goH935 into the fortifiedH4013 citiesH5892. 6Set upH5375 the standardH5251 toward ZionH6726: retireH5756, stayH5975 not: for I will bringH935 evilH7451 from the northH6828, and a greatH1419 destructionH7667.12 7The lionH738 is come upH5927 from his thicketH5441, and the destroyerH7843 of the GentilesH1471 is on his wayH5265; he is gone forthH3318 from his placeH4725 to makeH7760 thy landH776 desolateH8047; thy citiesH5892 shall be laid wasteH5327, without an inhabitantH3427. 8For this girdH2296 yourselves with sackclothH8242, lamentH5594 and wailH3213: for the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 is not turned backH7725 from us. 9And it shall come to pass at that dayH3117, saithH5002 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 GODH3069! surelyH403 thou hast greatlyH5377 deceivedH5377 this peopleH5971 and JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Ye shall have peaceH7965; though the swordH2719 reachethH5060 to the soulH5315. 11At that timeH6256 shall it be saidH559 to this peopleH5971 and to JerusalemH3389, A dryH6703 windH7307 of the high placesH8205 in the wildernessH4057 towardH1870 the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, not to fanH2219, nor to cleanseH1305, 12Even a fullH4392 windH7307 from those places shall comeH935 to me: now also will I giveH1696 sentenceH4941 against them.34 13Behold, he shall come upH5927 as cloudsH6051, and his chariotsH4818 shall be as a whirlwindH5492: his horsesH5483 are swifterH7043 than eaglesH5404. WoeH188 to us! for we are laid wasteH7703. 14O JerusalemH3389, washH3526 thy heartH3820 from wickednessH7451, that thou mayest be savedH3467. How long shall thy vainH205 thoughtsH4284 lodgeH3885 withinH7130 thee? 15For a voiceH6963 declarethH5046 from DanH1835, and proclaimethH8085 afflictionH205 from mountH2022 EphraimH669. 16Make ye mentionH2142 to the nationsH1471; behold, proclaimH8085 against JerusalemH3389, that watchersH5341 comeH935 from a farH4801 countryH776, and give outH5414 their voiceH6963 against the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063. 17As keepersH8104 of a fieldH7704, they are against her on all sidesH5439; because she hath been rebelliousH4784 against me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. 18Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procuredH6213 these things to thee; this is thy wickednessH7451, because it is bitterH4751, because it reachethH5060 to thy heartH3820.
19My heartH4578, my heartH4578! I am painedH2342H3176 at my veryH7023 heartH3820; my heartH3820 maketh a noiseH1993 in me; I cannot hold my peaceH2790, because thou hast heardH8085, O my soulH5315, the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the alarmH8643 of warH4421.5 20DestructionH7667 upon destructionH7667 is criedH7121; for the whole landH776 is laid wasteH7703: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 ruinedH7703, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281.
