“That the heart of the king shall perish,
And the heart of the princes;
The priests shall be astonished,
And the prophets shall wonder.”
aSurely You have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem,
bSaying, ‘You shall have peace,’
Whereas the sword reaches to the1 heart.”
To this people and to Jerusalem,
a“A dry wind of the desolate heights blows in the wilderness
Toward the daughter of My people—
Not to fan or to cleanse—
And ahis chariots like a whirlwind.
bHis horses are swifter than eagles.
Woe to us, for we are plundered!”
That you may be saved.
How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?

Jeremiah 4:11
At that time - There shall be tidings brought both to the country and city. A dry wind - A drying wind, such as shall blast and scorch where it comes, without any rain or moisture. It points at the stormy and furious irruption of the Babylonian army. In the plain - Where there is no stop in the way to break its fury. Toward - Directly, and designedly, coming in the way leading to my people. Not - Not such a gentle wind, as is made choice of to separate the chaff from the wheat; but so boisterous and violent, that it shall sweep away, and lay waste, all together.
