Anguish over Judah's Desolation
19 (A)My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
Oh the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
I cannot keep silent,
for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.
20 (B)Crash follows hard on crash;
the whole land is laid waste.
(C)Suddenly my tents are laid waste,
my curtains in a moment.
21 How long must I see the standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 “For (D)my people are foolish;
they know me not;
they are stupid children;
they have no understanding.
(E)They are ‘wise’—in doing evil!
But how to do good they know not.”
