Jeremiah 4:5-7

Warning of Coming Judgment

4:5 The Lord said,

“Announce this in Judah and proclaim it in Jerusalem:

‘Sound the trumpet throughout the land!’

Shout out loudly,

‘Gather together! Let us flee into the fortified cities!’

4:6 Raise a signal flag that tells people to go to Zion.

Run for safety! Do not delay!

For I am about to bring disaster out of the north.

It will bring great destruction.

4:7 Like a lion that has come up from its lair

He is coming out to lay your land waste.

Your cities will become ruins and lie uninhabited.

because we have sinned against him.
