Jeremiah 4:18-21
Legacy Standard Bible
18 Your (A)ways and your deeds
Have done these things to you.
This is your evil. How (B)bitter!
How it has touched your heart!”
Anguish over Judah’s Desolation
19 (C)My [a]soul, my [b]soul! I am in anguish! [c]Oh, my heart!
My (D)heart is pounding in me;
I cannot be silent
Because [d]you have heard, O my soul,
The (E)sound of the trumpet,
The shout of war.
20 (F)Destruction upon destruction is called out,
For the (G)whole land is devastated;
Suddenly my (H)tents are devastated,
My curtains in an instant.
21 How long must I see the standard
And hear the sound of the trumpet?

New Living Translation
18 “Your own actions have brought this upon you.
This punishment is bitter, piercing you to the heart!”
Jeremiah Weeps for His People
19 My heart, my heart—I writhe in pain!
My heart pounds within me! I cannot be still.
For I have heard the blast of enemy trumpets
and the roar of their battle cries.
20 Waves of destruction roll over the land,
until it lies in complete desolation.
Suddenly my tents are destroyed;
in a moment my shelters are crushed.
21 How long must I see the battle flags
and hear the trumpets of war?
