Jeremiah 4:6 Context
4Circumcise your selues to the Lord, and take away the foreskinnes of your heart, ye men of Iudah, and inhabitants of Ierusalem, lest my furie come forth like fire, and burne that none can quench it, because of the euill of your doings. 5Declare ye in Iudah, and publish in Ierusalem, and say, Blow yee the Trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble your selues, and let vs goe into the defenced cities. 6Set vp the standards toward Zion: retyre, stay not; for I will bring euil from the North, and a great destruction. 7The Lion is come vp from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; hee is gone foorth from his place to make thy land desolate, and thy cities shall be layed waste, without an inhabitant. 8For this gird you with sackcloth; lament and howle: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned backe from vs.
