Jeremiah 4:10-12

New Living Translation

¹⁰ Then I said, “O Sovereign Lord,
    the people have been deceived by what you said,
for you promised peace for Jerusalem.
    But the sword is held at their throats!”

¹¹ The time is coming when the Lord will say
    to the people of Jerusalem,
“My dear people, a burning wind is blowing in from the desert,
    and it’s not a gentle breeze useful for winnowing grain.
¹² It is a roaring blast sent by me!
    Now I will pronounce your destruction!”
