Jeremiah 4:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸So, put on sackcloth,
    mourn and wail,
because the burning anger of the Lord
    has not turned away from us.”
⁹“On that day,” declares the Lord,
    “the courage of the king and the leaders will fail.
The priests will be appalled
    and the prophets astounded.”

¹⁰Then I replied, “Ah, Lord God, you have completely deceived this people and Jerusalem when you said, ‘You will have peace,’ while the sword is at their^[a] throat!”
