Jeremiah 4:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ Raise the flag to signal people to go to Zion.
Take cover!
Don’t just stand there!
I’m bringing disaster and widespread destruction from the north.
⁷ A lion has come out of its lair.
A destroyer of nations has set out.
He has left his place to destroy your land.
Your cities will be ruined, and no one will live in them.
⁸ So put on sackcloth, mourn, and cry
because the Lord’s burning anger hasn’t turned away from us.
