Jeremiah 4:7-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷ A lion has gone up from his thicket;^(A)
a destroyer of nations has set out.
He has left his lair
to make your land a waste.
Your cities will be reduced to uninhabited ruins.^(B)
8 Because of this, put on sackcloth;
mourn and wail,^(C)
for the Lord’s burning anger^(D)
has not turned away from us.
