Jeremiah 4:8

On this account, gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl,—Because the glow of the anger of Yahweh hath not turned from us.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

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

7There hath come up a lion out of his thicket, Yea, a destroyer of nations—hath set forward, hath come forth out of his place,—To make thy land a desolation, Thy cities, shall fall in ruins, so as to have no inhabitant.

9And it shall come to pass, in that day, Declareth Yahweh, That the courage of the king shall fail, And the courage of the princes,—And the priests shall be astonished, And, the prophets, shall be amazed.
