Jeremiah 4:17-19
International Standard Version
17 They have surrounded her like those guarding a field
because they have rebelled against me,’”
declares the Lord.
18 “Your lifestyles and your actions
have brought these things on you.
This is your calamity—it is indeed bitter,
for it has reached your heart!”
Jeremiah’s Lament for His People
19 “My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain.
Oh, the aching[a] of my heart!
My heart pounds within me;
I cannot keep silent.
For I hear the sound of the trumpet,[b]
the alarm for war.
