Jeremiah 4:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ Destruction upon destruction is called for, and all the earth is laid waste: my tents are destroyed on a sudden, and my pavilions in a moment.

²¹ How long shall I see men fleeing away, how long shall I hear the sound of the trumpet?

²² For my foolish people have not known me: they are foolish and senseless children: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
