Jeremiah 4:6-8

The Voice

⁶     Raise a banner toward Zion, Jerusalem;
        point everyone toward her refuge.
    Don’t wait, for I am releasing an evil from the north that will devastate the land.
⁷         For a lion has stepped out of the thicket;
    A destroyer of nations is on the move.
        He has left his den to devour your land;
        your cities will be left in ruin, empty and lifeless.”
