Jeremiah 4:18-21
21st Century King James Version
18 “Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee: this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.”
19 My heart, my heart! I am pained at my very heart! My heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried, for the whole land is despoiled; suddenly are my tents despoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness; [a]for it is bitter, [b]for it reacheth unto thy heart.
19 My anguish, my anguish! [c]I am pained at [d]my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because [e]thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 20 Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, and my curtains in a moment. 21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
