Jeremiah 4:18-21
21st Century King James Version
18 “Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee: this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.”
19 My heart, my heart! I am pained at my very heart! My heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried, for the whole land is despoiled; suddenly are my tents despoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness; [a]for it is bitter, [b]for it reacheth unto thy heart.
19 My anguish, my anguish! [c]I am pained at [d]my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because [e]thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment. 21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

18 “Your own conduct and actions(A)
have brought this on you.(B)
This is your punishment.
How bitter(C) it is!
How it pierces to the heart!”
19 Oh, my anguish, my anguish!(D)
I writhe in pain.(E)
Oh, the agony of my heart!
My heart pounds(F) within me,
I cannot keep silent.(G)
For I have heard the sound of the trumpet;(H)
I have heard the battle cry.(I)
20 Disaster follows disaster;(J)
the whole land lies in ruins.(K)
In an instant my tents(L) are destroyed,
my shelter in a moment.
21 How long must I see the battle standard(M)
and hear the sound of the trumpet?(N)
