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
Revised Standard Version
30 And you, O desolate one,
what do you mean that you dress in scarlet,
that you deck yourself with ornaments of gold,
that you enlarge your eyes with paint?
In vain you beautify yourself.
Your lovers despise you;
they seek your life.
31 For I heard a cry as of a woman in travail,
anguish as of one bringing forth her first child,
the cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath,
stretching out her hands,
“Woe is me! I am fainting before murderers.”
