Jeremiah 4:18-28
New International Version
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)
22 “My people are fools;(O)
they do not know me.(P)
They are senseless children;
they have no understanding.(Q)
They are skilled in doing evil;(R)
they know not how to do good.”(S)
23 I looked at the earth,
and it was formless and empty;(T)
and at the heavens,
and their light(U) was gone.
24 I looked at the mountains,
and they were quaking;(V)
all the hills were swaying.
25 I looked, and there were no people;
every bird in the sky had flown away.(W)
26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert;(X)
all its towns lay in ruins(Y)
before the Lord, before his fierce anger.(Z)
27 This is what the Lord says:
