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
