Jeremiah 4:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ The Lord said, “On that day kings and officials will lose their courage; priests will be shocked and prophets will be astonished.”

¹⁰ Then I said, “Sovereign Lord, you have completely deceived the people of Jerusalem! You have said there would be peace, but a sword is at their throats.”
