Jeremiah 4:18-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ I’m suffering! I’m really suffering!
    I’m hurting badly.
My heart is suffering so much!
    It’s pounding inside me.
    I can’t keep silent.
I’ve heard the sound of trumpets.
    I’ve heard the battle cry.
²⁰ One trouble follows another.
    The whole land is destroyed.
In an instant my tents are gone.
    My home disappears in a moment.
²¹ How long must I look at our enemy’s battle flag?
    How long must I hear the sound of the trumpets?
