Jeremiah 47:2-4
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 47:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 I, the Lord, tell you
that your land will be flooded
with an army from the north.
It will destroy your towns
and sweep you away,
moaning and screaming.
3 When you hear the thunder
of horses and chariots,
your courage will vanish,
and parents will even abandon
their own children.
4 You refugees from Crete,[a]
your time has now come,
and I will destroy you.
None of you will be left
to help the cities
of Tyre and Sidon.
