Jer 4:4

Jer 4:15

Jer 4:15For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Efrayim:

Jer 4:16

Jer 4:16make you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Yerushalayim, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Yehudah.

Jer 4:17

Jer 4:17As keepers of a field are they against her round about, because she has been rebellious against me, says the LORD.

Jer 4:19

Jer 4:19My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I can't hold my shalom; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the shofar, the alarm of war.

Jer 4:20

Jer 4:20Destruction on destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment.

Jer 4:21

Jer 4:21How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the shofar?

Jer 4:22

Jer 4:22For my people are foolish, they don't know me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

Jer 4:23

Jer 4:23I saw the eretz, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

Jer 4:27For thus says the LORD, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.

Jer 4:28

Jer 4:28For this shall the eretz mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.

Jer 4:29

Jer 4:29Every city flees for the noise of the horsemen and archers; they go into the thickets, and climb up on the rocks: every city is forsaken, and not a man dwells therein.

Jer 4:30

Jer 4:30You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck you with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with paint, in vain do you make yourself beautiful; your lovers despise you, they seek your life.

Jer 4:31

Jer 4:31For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her who brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Tziyon, who gasps for breath, who spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul faints before the murderers.
