Jeremiah 4:15-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
15For a voice declares from Dan, And proclaims wickedness from Mount Ephraim. 16'Report it to the nations, now! Proclaim to Jerusalem, ‘ Enemies are coming from a remote country, And they raise their voices against the cities of Judah. 17Like watchmen of a field they are against her all around, Because she has rebelled against Me,’ declares the Lord. 18Your ways and your deeds Have brought these things upon you. This is your evil. How bitter! How it has touched your heart!' 19My soul, my soul! I am in anguish! Oh, my heart! My heart is pounding in me; I cannot keep silent, Because, my soul, you have heard The sound of the trumpet, The alarm of war.King James Version
Chapter 4
15For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. 16Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah. 17As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD. 18Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
15For a voice announces from Dan, proclaiming malice from Mount Ephraim. 16Warn the nations: Look! Proclaim to Jerusalem: Those who besiege are coming from a distant land; they raise their voices against the cities of Judah.
17They have her surrounded like those who guard a field, because she has rebelled against me. This is the Lord's declaration.
18Your way and your actions have brought this on you. This is your punishment. It is very bitter, because it has reached your heart!
19My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in agony! Oh, the pain in my heart! My heart pounds; I cannot be silent. For you, my soul, have heard the sound of the ram's horn -- the shout of battle.

17They surround Jerusalem like watchmen around a field, for my people have rebelled against me,' says the Lord.
18'Your own actions have brought this upon you. This punishment is bitter, piercing you to the heart!'
