Jeremiah 4:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ Announce this to the nations.
Make Jerusalem hear it.
A besieging army is coming from a distant land,
raising a war cry against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ They have surrounded her like men watching a field,
because she has rebelled against me, declares the Lord.
¹⁸ The way you live and the things you did have brought this on you.
This is your punishment.
It is bitter!
It strikes your heart!
