Jeremiah 4:16-18

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁶ “Report it to the nations,
proclaim about Yerushalayim:
‘[Enemies] are coming from a distant country,
watching and shouting their war cry
against the cities of Y’hudah.’
¹⁷ Like guards in a field they surround her,
because she has rebelled against me,” says Adonai.
¹⁸ “Your own ways and your actions
have brought these things on yourselves.
This is your wickedness, so bitter!
It has reached your very heart.”
