Jeremiah 4:4-6

New Living Translation

⁴ O people of Judah and Jerusalem,
    surrender your pride and power.
Change your hearts before the Lord,^[a]
    or my anger will burn like an unquenchable fire
    because of all your sins.

⁵ “Shout to Judah, and broadcast to Jerusalem!
    Tell them to sound the alarm throughout the land:
‘Run for your lives!
    Flee to the fortified cities!’
⁶ Raise a signal flag as a warning for Jerusalem^[b]:
    ‘Flee now! Do not delay!’
For I am bringing terrible destruction upon you
    from the north.”
