Jeremiah 4:18-21
New King James Version
18 “Your(A) ways and your doings
Have procured these things for you.
This is your wickedness,
Because it is bitter,
Because it reaches to your heart.”
Sorrow for the Doomed Nation
19 O my (B)soul, my soul!
I am pained in my very heart!
My heart makes a noise in me;
I cannot hold my peace,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
20 (C)Destruction upon destruction is cried,
For the whole land is plundered.
Suddenly (D)my tents are plundered,
And my curtains in a moment.
21 How long will I see the [a]standard,
And hear the sound of the trumpet?

21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
