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?

Revised Standard Version
18 Your ways and your doings
have brought this upon you.
This is your doom, and it is bitter;
it has reached your very heart.”
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 hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.
20 Disaster follows hard on disaster,
the whole land is laid waste.
Suddenly my tents are destroyed,
my curtains in a moment.
21 How long must I see the standard,
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
