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.”

30 And you, O desolate 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 [b]cry as of a woman in labor,
The anguish as of one giving birth to her first child,
The [c]cry of the daughter of Zion (D)gasping for breath,
(E)Stretching out her [d]hands, saying,
“Ah, woe is me, for [e]I faint before murderers.”
