Jeremiah 4:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ A lion has gone up from his thicket,
    a destroyer of nations has set out;
    he has gone forth from his place
to make your land a waste;
    your cities will be ruins
    without inhabitant.
⁸ For this gird you with sackcloth,
    lament and wail;
for the fierce anger of the Lord
    has not turned back from us.”
