Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28
11At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;
12a full wind from these shall come for me: now will I also utter judgments against them.
13Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are ruined.
14Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?
15For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:
16make you mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
17As keepers of a field are they against her round about, because she has been rebellious against me, says Yahweh.
18Your way and your doings have procured these things to you; this is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.
19My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I can`t hold my peace; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20Destruction on destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, [and] my curtains in a moment.
21How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22For my people are foolish, they know don`t me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24I saw the mountains, and, behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.
25I saw, and, behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were fled.
26I saw, and, behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all the cities of it were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, [and] before his fierce anger.
27For thus says Yahweh, The whole land shall be a desolation; yet will I not make a full end.
28For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and I have not repented, neither will I turn back from it.
