Jeremiah

Jeremiah 49:4–5

⁴Why do you boast of your valleys—

your valleys so fruitful,^b

O faithless daughter?

You trust in your riches and say,

‘Who can come against me?’

⁵Behold, I am about to bring terror upon you,

declares the Lord GOD of Hosts,

from all those around you.

You will each be driven headlong,

with no one to regather the fugitives.
