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!
