Jeremiah 4:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ Then I said, “Alas, Lord God,
    you completely deceived the people and Jerusalem
when you promised that we would have peace,
    for now the sword is held at our throats.”

A scorching wind comes forth from the desert heights
    and sweeps down on my people,
    although not to winnow or to cleanse.
¹² A wind far too strong for that
    will come forth at my bidding,
    and I myself will pass judgment on them.
