Jeremiah 4:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ It will surround them like people who guard a field.
    Judah has refused to obey me,’ ”
    announces the Lord.
¹⁸ “The army will attack you
    because of your conduct and actions.
This is how you will be punished.
    It will be so bitter!
    It will cut deep down into your hearts!”
