Jeremiah 4:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Then I said, “You are my Lord and King. You have completely tricked the people of Judah and Jerusalem! You have told them, ‘You will have peace and rest.’ But swords are pointed at our throats!”

¹¹ At that time the people of Judah and Jerusalem will be warned. They will be told, “A hot and dry wind is coming, my people. It is blowing toward you from the bare hilltops in the desert. But it does not separate straw from grain. ¹² It is much too strong for that. The wind is coming from me. I am making my decision against you.”
