Contextual Overview
5Declare in Judah and make it heard in Jerusalem and say,"Blow the trumpet in the land;Call out, make your voice full, and say,‘Gather yourselves, and let us goInto the fortified cities.' 6Lift up a standard toward Zion!Seek safety, do not stand still,For I am bringing evil from the north,And great destruction. 7A lion has gone up from his thicket,And a destroyer of nations has set out;He has gone out from his placeTo make your land a desolation.Your cities will be turned into ruinsWithout inhabitant. 8For this, I gird myself with sackcloth,Lament and wail;For the burning anger of YahwehHas not turned back from us." 9"It will be in that day," declares Yahweh, "that the heart of the king and the heart of the princes will perish; and the priests will be appalled, and the prophets will be astonished." 10Then I said, "Ah, Lord Yahweh! Surely You have utterly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You will have peace'; whereas a sword touches the throat." 11In that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, "A scorching wind from the bare heights in the wilderness along the way of the daughter of My people—not to winnow and not to cleanse, 12a wind too full for these things—will come for My purpose; now I will also speak judgments against them. 13Behold, he goes up like clouds,And his chariots like the whirlwind;His horses are swifter than eagles.Woe to us, for we are devastated!" 14Wash your heart from evil, O Jerusalem,That you may be saved.How long will your wicked thoughtsLodge within you?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl,.... That is, because of this destruction threatened, which was so near at hand, and so sure and certain:
for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned back from us. The Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, render it "from you" and some render it "from it" u; from his purpose and design to destroy the Jews. Jarchi interprets this of Josiah, and his times, who, though he turned to the Lord with all his heart, yet the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his wrath and anger against Judah, 2 Kings 23:25.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Is not turned ... - As long as their sins are unrepented of, so long must their punishment continue.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 4:8. Lament and howl — ×××××× heililu. The aboriginal Irish had a funeral song called the Caoinian, still continued among their descendants, one part of which is termed the ulaloo: this is sung responsively or alternately, and is accompanied with a full chorus of sighs and groans. It has been thought that Ireland was originally peopled by the Phoenicians: if so, this will account for the similarity of many words and customs among both these people.
