Jeremiah 4:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Wherefore gird you with sackcloth: lament, and howl, for the fierce wrath of the Lord is not turned back from us.
9 And in that day, saith the Lord, the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes and the Priests shall be astonished, and the [a]Prophets shall wonder.
10 Then said I, Ah, Lord God, surely thou hast [b]deceived this people, and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace, and the sword pierceth unto the heart.
