ylt @Jeremiah:4:5 @Declare in Judah , and in Jerusalem sound , And say ye , 'Blow a trumpet in the land ,' Call ye fully , and say ye : 'Be gathered , and we go in to the fenced city .' ylt @Jeremiah:4:6 @Lift up an ensign Zionward , Strengthen yourselves , stand not still , For evil I am bringing in from the north , And a great destruction . ylt @Jeremiah:4:7 @Gone up hath a lion from his thicket , And a destroyer of nations hath journeyed , He hath come forth from his place To make thy land become a desolation , Thy cities are laid waste , without inhabitant . ylt @Jeremiah:4:8 @For this , gird on sackcloth , lament and howl , For the fierce anger of Jehovah hath not turned back from us . ylt @Jeremiah:4:9 @And it hath come to pass , in that day , An affirmation of Jehovah : 'Perish doth the heart of the king , And the heart of the princes , And astonished have been the priests , And the prophets do wonder .' ylt @Jeremiah:4:10 @And I say , 'Ah , Lord Jehovah , Surely thou hast entirely forgotten this people and Jerusalem , saying , Peace is for you , And struck hath a sword unto the soul !' ylt @Jeremiah:4:11 @At that time it is said of this people , And of Jerusalem : 'A dry wind of high places in the wilderness ,' The way of the daughter of My people , (Not for winnowing , nor for cleansing ,) ylt @Jeremiah:4:12 @A full wind from these doth come for Me , Now , also , I speak judgments with them . ylt @Jeremiah:4:13 @Lo , as clouds he cometh up , And as a hurricane his chariots , Lighter than eagles have been his horses , Wo to us , for we have been spoiled . ylt @Jeremiah:4:14 @Wash from evil thy heart , O Jerusalem , That thou mayest be saved , Till when dost thou lodge in thy heart Thoughts of thy strength ? ylt @Jeremiah:4:15 @For a voice is declaring from Dan , And sounding sorrow from mount Ephraim . ylt @Jeremiah:4:16 @Make ye mention to the nations , Lo , sound ye to Jerusalem : 'Besiegers are coming from the land afar off , And they give forth against cities of Judah their voice . ylt @Jeremiah:4:17 @As the keepers of a field They have been against her round about , For with Me she hath been rebellious , An affirmation of Jehovah .' ylt @Jeremiah:4:18 @Thy way and thy doings have done these to thee , This [is ] thy vexation , for [it is ] bitter , For it hath struck unto thy heart . ylt @Jeremiah:4:19 @My bowels , my bowels ! I am pained [at ] the walls of my heart , Make a noise for me doth My heart , I am not silent , For the voice of a trumpet I have heard , O my soul -- a shout of battle ! ylt @Jeremiah:4:20 @Destruction on destruction is proclaimed , For spoiled hath been all the land , Suddenly spoiled have been my tents , In a moment -- my curtains . ylt @Jeremiah:4:21 @Till when do I see an ensign ? Do I hear the voice of a trumpet ? ylt @Jeremiah:4:22 @For my people [are ] foolish , me they have not known , Foolish sons [are ] they , yea , they [are ] not intelligent , Wise [are ] they to do evil , And to do good they have not known . ylt @Jeremiah:4:23 @I looked [to ] the land , and lo , waste and void , And unto the heavens , and their light is not . ylt @Jeremiah:4:24 @I have looked [to ] the mountains , And lo , they are trembling . And all the hills moved themselves lightly . ylt @Jeremiah:4:25 @I have looked , and lo , man is not , And all fowls of the heavens have fled . ylt @Jeremiah:4:26 @I have looked , and lo , The fruitful place [is ] a wilderness , And all its cities have been broken down , Because of Jehovah , Because of the fierceness of His anger . ylt @Jeremiah:4:27 @For thus said Jehovah : All the land is a desolation , but a completion I make not . ylt @Jeremiah:4:28 @For this doth the land mourn , And black have been the heavens above , because I have spoken -- I have purposed , And I have not repented , Nor do I turn back from it . ylt @Jeremiah:4:29 @From the voice of the horseman , And of him shooting with the bow , all the city is fleeing , They have come into thickets , And on cliffs they have gone up , All the city is forsaken , And there is no one dwelling in them . ylt @Jeremiah:4:30 @And thou , O spoiled one , what dost thou ? For thou puttest on scarlet , For thou adornest thyself [with ] ornaments of gold . For thou rendest with pain thine eyes , In vain thou dost make thyself fair , Kicked against thee have doting ones , Thy life they do seek . ylt @Jeremiah:4:31 @For a voice as of a sick woman I have heard , Distress , as of one bringing forth a first-born , The voice of the daughter of Zion , She bewaileth herself , she spreadeth out her hands , 'Wo to me now , for weary is my soul of slayers !'
