Jeremiah 4:17 Context
15For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. 16Make ye mention to the nations, behold, publish against Ierusalem, that watchers come from a farre countrey, and giue out their voice against the cities of Iudah. 17As keepers of a fielde are they against her round about; because shee hath bene rebellious against mee, saith the Lord. 18Thy way and thy doings haue procured these things vnto thee, this is thy wickednes because it is bitter, because it reacheth vnto thine heart. 19¶ My bowels, my bowels, I am pained at my very heart, my heart maketh a noise in mee, I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soule, the sound of the Trumpet, the alarme of warre.
