10 Then I, Jeremiah, said, “Lord God, you have tricked the people of Judah and Jerusalem. You said, ‘You will have peace.’ But now the sword is pointing at our throats!”
11 At that time this message will be given to Judah and Jerusalem: “A hot wind blows from the bare hilltops. It comes out of the desert toward the Lord’s people. It is not like the gentle wind farmers use to separate grain from chaff.
12 It’s a stronger wind than that. And it comes from the Lord. Now he will announce his judgment against the people of Judah.”
13 Look! The enemy rises up like a cloud.His chariots come like a windstorm.His horses are faster than eagles.How terrible it will be for us! We are ruined!
14 People of Jerusalem, clean the evil from your hearts and be saved.Don’t continue making evil plans.
15 A voice from Dan makes an announcement.From the mountains of Ephraim someone brings bad news.
16 “Report this to the nations.Spread this news in Jerusalem:‘Enemies are coming from a faraway country.They are shouting words of war against the cities of Judah.
