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?
Yes, proclaim against Jerusalem,
That watchers come from a afar country
And raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
Because she has been rebellious against Me,” says the Lord.
Have procured these things for you.
This is your wickedness,
Because it is bitter,
Because it reaches to your heart.”
Sorrow for the Doomed Nation
I am pained in my very heart!
My heart makes a noise in me;
I cannot hold my peace,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
For the whole land is plundered.
Suddenly bmy tents are plundered,
And my curtains in a moment.
They have not known Me.
They are1 silly children,
And they have no understanding.
aThey are wise to do evil,
But to do good they have no knowledge.”

Jeremiah 4:15
Dan - The border-town of Palestine on the north Deuteronomy 34:1.
Mount Ephraim - The northern boundary of Judaea itself. The invading army presses on so rapidly, that scarcely have the news arrived of its appearance at Dan, before fresh messengers announce that it has traversed the whole length of Galilee, and is now defiling through the mountains of Samaria.
Affliction - The same word, aven, occurs in Jeremiah 4:14, and apparently there is a play upon its double meaning: for from a root signifying worthlessness, it is used both for wickedness and for misery. Thus, the "iniquity" of Judah proves also, to be her "affliction," as being the cause of the ruin inflicted by the enemy.
