Jeremiah 4:16-17

4:16 They are saying,

‘Announce to the surrounding nations,

“The enemy is coming!”

Proclaim this message to Jerusalem:

“Those who besiege cities are coming from a distant land.

They are ready to raise the battle cry against the towns in Judah.”’

4:17 They will surround Jerusalem

like men guarding a field

because they have rebelled against me,”

says the Lord.
