Jeremiah 4:19

Sorrow for the Doomed Nation
19 O my (A)soul, my soul!

I cannot hold my peace,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.

My lips quivered at the voice;

And I trembled in myself,
That I might rest in the day of trouble.
When he comes up to the people,
He will invade them with his troops.

Yes, both prophet and (D)priest go about in a land they do not know.’ ”
