Jeremiah 4:9-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 In that day—oracle of the Lord—
The king will lose heart, and the princes;
the priests will be horrified,
and the prophets stunned.
10 “Ah! Lord God,” they will say,
“You really did deceive[a] us
When you said: You shall have peace,
while the sword was at our very throats.”(A)
Footnotes
- 4:10 You really did deceive: Jeremiah complains that the Lord misled the people by fostering their complacency, leaving them unprepared and unrepentant as judgment approaches.
