Jeremiah 4:8

Wear clothes made of sackcloth, weep and wail, crying out, “The Lord's furious anger against us hasn't stopped.”

Free Bible Version

In The King James Version

For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.

In Context

7A lion has left his hiding place; a destroyer of nations has started out. He has left his den to come and turn your country into a wasteland. Your towns will be demolished, and no one will live there.

9When that happens declares the Lord, the king and officials will lose heart, the priests will be devastated, and the prophets will be shocked.
