Jeremiah 4:30-31
New American Standard Bible
30 And you, desolate one, (A)what will you do?
Although you dress in scarlet,
Although you adorn yourself with jewelry of gold,
Although you (B)enlarge your eyes with makeup,
In vain you make yourself beautiful.
Your [a](C)lovers despise you;
They seek your life.
31 For I heard a voice cry as of a woman in labor,
The anguish as of one giving birth to her first child.
The voice of the daughter of Zion (D)gasping for breath,
(E)Stretching out her [b]hands, saying,
“Ah, woe to me, for [c]I faint before murderers.”
