Jeremiah 4:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ Warn the nations about these things.
Bring them to the attention of Jerusalem.
“Hostile troops are coming from a distant country.
They are shouting battle cries against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ They surround them like men guarding a field,
because Judah has rebelled against me,”
declares the Lord.
¹⁸ “You brought this on yourself.
This is your punishment.
It is bitter.
It breaks your heart.”
