Jeremiah 4:6-9 Raise a standard in the direction of Zion. Flee! Don’t stand around! For I’m bringing calamity from the north, along with great destruction.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Raise a standard in the direction of Zion. Flee! Don’t stand around! For I’m bringing calamity from the north, along with great destruction. ⁷ A lion has gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations has set out. He has left his place to make your land a waste. Your cities will be ruined, and without inhabitants. ⁸ So, put on sackcloth, mourn and wail, because the burning anger of the LORD has not turned away from us.” ⁹ “On that day,” declares the LORD, “the courage of the king and the leaders will fail. The priests will be appalled and the prophets astounded.”
