Jeremiah 4:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ “Report it to the nations, now!”
    Indeed, proclaim against Jerusalem:
“Besiegers come from a far country,
    and lift their voices against the cities of Judah.
¹⁷ As watchmen of a field, they are against her all around,
    because she has been rebellious against Me,
    says the Lord.
¹⁸ Your way and your deeds
    have procured these things to you.
This is your wickedness.
    How bitter it is!
    How it touches your heart!”
