In Jeremiah 4:8, the prophet warns of impending disaster and destruction coming upon Jerusalem and Judah due to their disobedience and sin. The verse describes the sound of the trumpet as a call to arms, signaling the approach of enemy forces and the impending judgment of God. Jeremiah's message serves as a plea for repentance and a call to turn back to God before it is too late. The imagery of warfare and devastation conveys the seriousness of the situation and the urgent need for spiritual renewal and reconciliation with God.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

For this calamity the people was to mourn deeply. For the description of the mourning, cf. Joe 1:13; Mic 1:8. For the wrath of the Lord has not turned from us, as in blind self-delusion ye imagine, Jer 2:35. The heath of Jahveh's anger is the burning wrath on account of the sins of Manasseh, with which the people has been threatened by the prophets. This wrath has not turned itself away, because even under Josiah the people has not sincerely returned to its God.
