Jeremiah 4:16-18
New International Reader's Version
16 “Tell the nations.
Make an announcement concerning Jerusalem.
Say, ‘An army will attack Judah.
It is coming from a land far away.
It will shout a war cry
against the cities of Judah.
17 It will surround them like people who guard a field.
Judah has refused to obey me,’ ”
announces the Lord.
18 “The army will attack you
because of your conduct and actions.
This is how you will be punished.
It will be so bitter!
It will cut deep down into your hearts!”
