10 Then I, Jeremiah, said, “Lord God, you have tricked the people of Judah and Jerusalem. You said to them, ‘You will have peace.’ But now the sword is pointing at their throats!”

11 At that time this message will be given
    to the people of Judah and Jerusalem:
“A hot wind blows from the bare hills.
    It comes from the desert to my people.

    against the people of Judah.”
