Jeremiah 4:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ Then I said, [“^LAha,] Lord God, you have ·tricked [deceived] ·the people of Judah [^Lthis people] and Jerusalem. You said, ‘You will have peace,’ but now the sword ·is pointing at [^Ltouches] our ·throats [or very lives]!”

¹¹ At that time ·this message will be given [^Lit will be said] to Judah and Jerusalem: “A hot wind blows from the bare hilltops [3:2] of the ·desert [wilderness] toward the ·Lord’s [^Ldaughter of my] people. ·It is not a gentle wind to separate grain from chaff [^L…not for winnowing or for cleansing]. ¹² I feel a stronger wind than that. Now even I will announce judgments against ·the people of Judah [^Lthem].”
