Jeremiah 4:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Set up the standard in Sion. Strengthen yourselves, stay not: for I bring evil from the north, and great destruction.

⁷ The lion is come up out of his den, and the robber of nations hath roused himself: he is come forth out of his place, to make thy land desolate: thy cities shall be laid waste, remaining without an inhabitant.

⁸ For this gird yourselves with haircloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us.
