Jeremiah 4:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 “Make this known to the nations,
announce it against Jerusalem:
Besiegers are coming from the distant land,
shouting their war cry against the cities of Judah.”(A)
17 Like watchers in the fields they surround her,
for she has rebelled against me—oracle of the Lord.(B)
18 Your conduct, your deeds, have done this to you;
how bitter is this evil of yours,
how it reaches to your very heart!(C)
Jeremiah 4:16-18
New International Version
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,’”
declares the Lord.
18 “Your own conduct and actions(F)
have brought this on you.(G)
This is your punishment.
How bitter(H) it is!
How it pierces to the heart!”
