Jerome, on Jer 4:8

Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Jer 4:8 · Douay-Rheims
“For this gird yourselves with haircloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned away from us.”
On this verse:
“(Verse 8.) So gird yourselves with sackcloth, weep and howl, for the fierce anger of the Lord's fury has not turned away from us, or as the Septuagint translated, from you. We cannot avoid the lion and the most savage beast unless we repent and turn to the Lord, not only in our minds but also in our actions. For as long as he devastates the Church and the land of Judah, and also ravages Jerusalem, the clear anger of God is evident.”
