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 trumpets?

They are stupid children.
    They don’t understand.
They are skillful at doing evil.
    They don’t know how to do good.”
