Jeremiah 4:18-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
18 Your ways and your doings
have brought this upon you.
This is your doom; how bitter it is!
It has reached your very heart.”(A)
Sorrow for a Doomed Nation
19 My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
Oh, the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
I cannot keep silent,
for I[a] hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.(B)
20 Disaster overtakes disaster;
the whole land is laid waste.
Suddenly my tents are destroyed,
my curtains in a moment.(C)
21 How long must I see the standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
