Jeremiah 4:19-21

New Century Version

¹⁹ Oh, how I hurt! How I hurt!
    I am bent over in pain.
Oh, the torture in my heart!
    My heart is pounding inside me.
    I cannot keep quiet,
because I have heard the sound of the trumpet.
    I have heard the shouts of war.
²⁰ Disaster follows disaster;
    the whole country has been destroyed.
My tents are destroyed in only a moment.
    My curtains are torn down quickly.
²¹ How long must I look at the war flag?
    How long must I listen to the war trumpet?
