Jeremiah

Jeremiah 4:11–12

¹¹At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A searing wind from the barren heights in the desert blows toward the daughter of My people, but not to winnow or to sift; ¹²a wind too strong for that comes from Me. Now I also pronounce judgments against them.”
