Jeremiah 4:5-7

Modern English Version

⁵ Declare in Judah and publish in Jerusalem, and say:
    Blow the trumpet in the land.
Cry aloud and say,
    “Assemble yourselves,
    and let us go into the fortified cities.”
⁶ Set up the standard toward Zion.
    Seek refuge, do not delay.
For I will bring disaster from the north,
    and a great destruction.

⁷ The lion has come up from his thicket,
    and the destroyer of the nations is on his way.
He has gone forth from his place
    to make your land desolate.
And your cities shall be laid waste
    without an inhabitant.
