Jeremiah 4:18-21
American Standard Version
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?

Lexham English Bible
18 “You obtained this for yourself
because of your way and your deeds.
This is your doom, for it is bitter,
yes, it has reached up to your heart.”
19 My bowels, my bowels! I writhe!
The walls of my heart!
My heart is restless within me, I cannot keep silent,
for I hear in my inner self the sound of a horn, the alarm of war.
20 Destruction on destruction is proclaimed,
for all of the land is devastated.
Suddenly my tents are devastated,
my tent curtains in a moment.
21 How long must I see the banner,
and hear the sound of a horn?
