Jeremiah 4:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Make ye mention of the heathen, and publish in Jerusalem, Behold, the scouts come from a far country, and cry out against the cities of Judah.
17 They have compassed her about as the watchmen of the [a]field, because it hath provoked me unto wrath, saith the Lord.
18 Thy ways and thine inventions have procured thee these things, such is thy wickedness: therefore it shall be bitter, therefore it shall pierce unto thine heart.

16 “Tell this to the nations,
proclaim concerning Jerusalem:
‘A besieging army is coming from a distant land,(A)
raising a war cry(B) against the cities of Judah.(C)
17 They surround(D) her like men guarding a field,
because she has rebelled(E) against me,’”

have brought this on you.(G)
This is your punishment.
How bitter(H) it is!
How it pierces to the heart!”
