THE ALARM OF WAR
JEREMIAH 4:13-19
BEHOLD,
HE SHALL
COME UP AS CLOUDS,
AND HIS CHARIOTS
SHALL BE AS A WHIRLWINDS:
HIS HORSES
ARE SWIFTER THAN EAGLES,
WO UNTO US!
FOR WE ARE SPOILED.
O JERUSALEM,
WASH THINE HEART
FROM WICKEDNESS,
THAT THOU MAYEST BE SAVED.
HOW LONG SHALL
THY VAIN THOUGHTS
LODGE WITHIN THEE?
FOR A VOICE DECLARETH FROM DAN,
AND
PUBLISHETH
AFFLICTION FROM
MOUNT EPHRAIM.
MAKE YE MENTION OF THE NATIONS;
BEHOLD,
PUBLISH AGAIN JERUSALEM,
THAT
WATCHERS COME FROM
AFAR COUNTRY,
AND GIVE OUT
THEIR VOICES AGAINST
THE CITIES OF JUDAH.
AS KEEPERS OF A FIELD,
ARE THEY AGAINST
HER ROUND ABOUT;
BECAUSE SHE HATH
BEEN REBELLIOUS
AGAINST ME,
SAITH THE LORD.
THY WAY AND THY DOINGS
HAVE PROCURED
THESE THINGS
UNTO THEE;
THIS IS THY WICKEDNESS,
BECAUSE IT IS BITTER,
BECAUSE IT REACHETH
UNTO THINE HEART.
MY BOWELS, MY BOWELS!
I AM PAINED AT MY VERY HEART;
MY HEART MAKETH A NOISE IN ME;
I CANNOT HOLD PEACE,
BECAUSE THOU HAS HEARD,
O MY SOUL,
THE SOUND OF THE TRUMPET,
THE ALARM OF WAR.
love
