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?

Jeremiah 4:18-21
New International Version
18 “Your own conduct and actions(A)
have brought this on you.(B)
This is your punishment.
How bitter(C) it is!
How it pierces to the heart!”
19 Oh, my anguish, my anguish!(D)
I writhe in pain.(E)
Oh, the agony of my heart!
My heart pounds(F) within me,
I cannot keep silent.(G)
For I have heard the sound of the trumpet;(H)
I have heard the battle cry.(I)
20 Disaster follows disaster;(J)
the whole land lies in ruins.(K)
In an instant my tents(L) are destroyed,
my shelter in a moment.
21 How long must I see the battle standard(M)
and hear the sound of the trumpet?(N)
