Jeremiah 4:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ The lion is come up out of his den, and the robber of nations hath roused himself: he is come forth out of his place, to make thy land desolate: thy cities shall be laid waste, remaining without an inhabitant.

⁸ For this gird yourselves with haircloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us.

⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord: That the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes: and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall be amazed.
