Jeremiah 4:30-31
Legacy Standard Bible
30 And you, O devastated one, (A)what will you do?
Although you dress in scarlet,
Although you decorate yourself with ornaments of gold,
Although you (B)enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you make yourself beautiful.
Your [a](C)lovers despise you;
They seek your life.
31 For I heard a sound as of a woman in labor pains,
The distress as of one giving birth to her first child,
The sound of the daughter of Zion (D)gasping for breath,
(E)Stretching out her [b]hands, saying,
“Ah, woe is me, for my soul faints before murderers.”

Jeremiah 4:30-31
Common English Bible
30 And you, devastated one,
why dress up in scarlet,
deck yourself in gold jewelry,
and color your eyes with paint?
In vain you get all decked out;
your lovers have rejected you
and now seek your life.
31 I hear the cry of a woman in labor,
the distress of one delivering her first child.
It is the cry of Daughter Zion,
gasping for breath,
her arms stretched out,
and moaning,
“I’m about to fall into the hands of murderers!”
