Sorrow for a Doomed Nation
19 My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
Oh, the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
I cannot keep silent,
for I[a] hear the sound of the trumpet,

the whole land is laid waste.
Suddenly my tents are destroyed,
my curtains in a moment.(B)
21 How long must I see the standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
