4:8 The Israelites were in trouble with the Lord and needed to make things right with him. Putting an army in the field or organizing guerrilla bands would be futile. Instead, Jeremiah called for the people to repent by mourning and by weeping with broken hearts (Isa 22:12). By using the pronoun us, the prophet seems to include himself in the need for repentance (see Jer 10:24).
