Jeremiah 4:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Say ye to the nations: Behold it is heard in Jerusalem, that guards are coming from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Juda.

¹⁷ They are set round about her, as keepers of fields: because she hath provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.

¹⁸ They ways, and thy devices have brought these things upon thee: this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it hath touched thy heart.
