22 (A)A sound of battle is in the land,
And of great destruction.
Jeremiah 4:19-21
New King James Version
Sorrow for the Doomed Nation
19 O my (A)soul, my soul!
I am pained in my very heart!
My heart makes a noise in me;
I cannot hold my peace,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
20 (B)Destruction upon destruction is cried,
For the whole land is plundered.
Suddenly (C)my tents are plundered,
And my curtains in a moment.
21 How long will I see the [a]standard,
And hear the sound of the trumpet?

Jeremiah 51:54-56
New King James Version
54 (A)The sound of a cry comes from Babylon,
And great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans,
55 Because the Lord is plundering Babylon
And silencing her loud voice,
Though her waves roar like great waters,
And the noise of their voice is uttered,
56 Because the plunderer comes against her, against Babylon,
And her mighty men are taken.
Every one of their bows is broken;
(B)For the Lord is the God of recompense,
He will surely repay.
Isaiah 21:2-4
New King James Version
2 A distressing vision is declared to me;
(A)The treacherous dealer deals treacherously,
And the plunderer plunders.
(B)Go up, O Elam!
Besiege, O Media!
All its sighing I have made to cease.
3 Therefore (C)my loins are filled with pain;
(D)Pangs have taken hold of me, like the pangs of a woman in labor.
I was [a]distressed when I heard it;
I was dismayed when I saw it.
4 My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me;
(E)The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.
