Jeremiah 4:8-10
Expanded Bible
8 So put on ·rough cloth [sackcloth; burlap; C mourning clothes],

The ·terrible [fierce] anger of the Lord

The priests will be ·terribly afraid [desolate],
and the prophets will be ·shocked [stunned; appalled]!”
10 Then I said, [“L Aha,] Lord God, you have ·tricked [deceived] ·the people of Judah [L this people] and Jerusalem. You said, ‘You will have peace,’ but now the sword ·is pointing at [L touches] our ·throats [or very lives]!”
