Jeremiah 4:30-31
English Standard Version
30 And you, O desolate one,
what do you mean that you dress in scarlet,
(A)that you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
(B)that you enlarge your eyes with paint?
In vain you beautify yourself.
(C)Your lovers despise you;
they seek your life.
31 For I heard (D)a cry as of a woman in labor,
anguish as of one giving birth to her first child,
the cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath,
(E)stretching out her hands,
“Woe is me! I am fainting before murderers.”
Jeremiah 4:30-31
Holman Christian Standard Bible
30 And you, devastated one, what are you doing(A)
that you dress yourself in scarlet,
that you adorn yourself with gold jewelry,
that you enlarge your eyes with paint?(B)
You beautify yourself for nothing.
Your lovers reject you;(C)
they want to take your life.(D)
31 I hear a cry like a woman in labor,(E)
a cry of anguish like one bearing her first child.
The cry of Daughter Zion gasping for breath,
stretching out her hands:(F)
Woe is me, for my life is weary
because of the murderers!
