He will invade them with his troops.

  1. Jeremiah 44:6 Or became a ruin

Sorrow for the Doomed Nation

19 O my (A)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 (B)Destruction upon destruction is cried,
For the whole land is plundered.
Suddenly (C)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?

22 “For My people are foolish,
They have not known Me.
They are [b]silly children,
And they have no understanding.
(D)They are wise to do evil,
But to do good they have no knowledge.”

23 (E)I beheld the earth, and indeed it was (F)without form, and void;
And the heavens, they had no light.
24 (G)I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled,
And all the hills moved back and forth.
25 I beheld, and indeed there was no man,
And (H)all the birds of the heavens had fled.
26 I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a (I)wilderness,
And all its cities were broken down
At the presence of the Lord,
By His fierce anger.

27 For thus says the Lord:

“The whole land shall be desolate;
(J)Yet I will not make a full end.
28 For this (K)shall the earth mourn,
And (L)the heavens above be black,
Because I have spoken.
I have (M)purposed and (N)will not relent,
Nor will I turn back from it.
29 The whole city shall flee from the noise of the horsemen and bowmen.
They shall go into thickets and climb up on the rocks.
Every city shall be forsaken,
And not a man shall dwell in it.
