Jeremiah 4:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁰Then I, Jeremiah, said, “Lord God, you have tricked the people of Judah and Jerusalem. You said to them, ‘You will have peace.’ But now the sword is pointing at their throats!”

“A hot wind blows from the bare hills.
    It comes from the desert to my people.
It is not like the gentle wind that is used
    to separate the grain from the chaff.
