Jeremiah 4:16-18
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
16 Say ye to the nations: Behold it is heard in Jerusalem, that guards are coming from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Juda.
17 They are set round about her, as keepers of fields: because she hath provoked me to wrath, saith the Lord.
18 They ways, and thy devices have brought these things upon thee: this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it hath touched thy heart.

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!”
