Jeremiah 4:19-21
New American Standard Bible
Grief over Judah’s Devastation
19 (A)My [a]soul, my [b]soul! I am in anguish! [c]Oh, my heart!
My (B)heart is pounding in me;
I cannot keep silent,
Because, [d]my soul, you have heard
The (C)sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
20 (D)Disaster upon disaster is proclaimed,
For the (E)whole land is devastated;
Suddenly my (F)tents are devastated,
And my curtains in an instant.
21 How long must I see the flag
And hear the sound of the trumpet?

19 Oh, my anguish, my anguish!(A)
I writhe in pain.(B)
Oh, the agony of my heart!

I cannot keep silent.(D)

the whole land lies in ruins.(H)
In an instant my tents(I) are destroyed,

Jeremiah 51:54-56
New American Standard Bible
54 The (A)sound of an outcry from Babylon,
And of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 For the Lord is going to destroy Babylon,
And He will make her loud [a]noise vanish from her.
And their (B)waves will roar like many waters;
The clamor of their voices [b]sounds forth.
56 For the (C)destroyer is coming against her, against Babylon,
And her warriors will be captured,
Their (D)bows shattered;
For the Lord is a God of (E)retribution,
He will fully repay.
