Jeremiah 4:13-17
The Message
Your Evil Life Is Piercing Your Heart
13-14 Look at them! Like banks of storm clouds,
racing, tumbling, their chariots a tornado,
Their horses faster than eagles!
Woe to us! We’re done for!
Jerusalem! Scrub the evil from your lives
so you’ll be fit for salvation.
How much longer will you harbor
devious and malignant designs within you?
15-17 What’s this? A messenger from Dan?
Bad news from Ephraim’s hills!
Make the report public.
Broadcast the news to Jerusalem:
“Invaders from far off are
raising war cries against Judah’s towns.
They’re all over her, like a dog on a bone.
And why? Because she rebelled against me.”
God’s Decree.
Jeremiah 4:13-15
New International Version
13 Look! He advances like the clouds,(A)
his chariots(B) come like a whirlwind,(C)
his horses(D) are swifter than eagles.(E)
Woe to us! We are ruined!(F)
14 Jerusalem, wash(G) the evil from your heart and be saved.(H)
How long(I) will you harbor wicked thoughts?
15 A voice is announcing from Dan,(J)
proclaiming disaster from the hills of Ephraim.(K)
