Jeremiah 4:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Set up the standard in Zion: [a]prepare to flee, and stay not: for I will bring a plague from the North, and a great destruction.
7 The [b]lion is come up from his den, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is departed, and gone forth of his place to lay thy land waste, and thy cities shall be destroyed without an inhabitant.
8 Wherefore gird you with sackcloth: lament, and howl, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned back from us.
