Jeremiah 4:19-22

New American Standard Bible

^19 (A)My ^[a]soul, my ^[b]soul! I am in anguish! ^[c]Oh, my heart!
My ^(B)heart is pounding in me;
I cannot keep silent,
Because, ^[d]my soul, you have heard
The ^(C)sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
^20 (D)Disaster upon disaster is proclaimed,
For the ^(E)whole land is devastated;
Suddenly my ^(F)tents are devastated,
And my curtains in an instant.
²¹ How long must I see the flag
And hear the sound of the trumpet?
²² “^(G)For My people are foolish,
They do not know Me;
They are foolish children
And have no understanding.
They are skillful at ^(H)doing evil,
But they do not know how to do good.”
