Jeremiah 4:18-21

English Standard Version

¹⁸ Your ways and your deeds
    have brought this upon you.
This is your doom, and ^(A)it is bitter;
    it has reached your very heart.”

^19 (B)My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
    Oh the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
    I cannot keep silent,
for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
    the alarm of war.
^20 (C)Crash follows hard on crash;
    the whole land is laid waste.
^(D)Suddenly my tents are laid waste,
    my curtains in a moment.
²¹ How long must I see the standard
    and hear the sound of the trumpet?
