Jeremiah 4:18-21
New American Standard Bible
18 Your (A)ways and your deeds
Have [a]brought these things upon you.
This is your evil. How (B)bitter!
How it has touched your heart!”
Grief over Judah’s Devastation
19 (C)My [b]soul, my [c]soul! I am in anguish! [d]Oh, my heart!
My (D)heart is pounding in me;
I cannot keep silent,
Because, [e]my soul, you have heard
The (E)sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
20 (F)Disaster upon disaster is proclaimed,
For the (G)whole land is devastated;
Suddenly my (H)tents are devastated,
And my curtains in an instant.
21 How long must I see the flag
And hear the sound of the trumpet?

18 “Your lifestyles and your actions
have brought these things on you.
This is your calamity—it is indeed bitter,
for it has reached your heart!”
Jeremiah’s Lament for His People
19 “My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain.
Oh, the aching[a] of my heart!
My heart pounds within me;
I cannot keep silent.
For I hear the sound of the trumpet,[b]
the alarm for war.
20 Disaster upon disaster is proclaimed,
for the entire land is devastated.
Suddenly, my tent is destroyed,
in a moment my curtains.
21 How long will I see the battle standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
