Jeremiah 4:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ My sadness and worry is making my stomach hurt.
    I am bent over in pain.
I am so afraid.
    My heart is pounding inside me.
I cannot keep quiet, because I have heard the trumpet blow.
    The trumpet is calling the army to war.
²⁰ Disaster follows disaster.
    The whole country is destroyed.
Suddenly my tents are destroyed.
    My curtains are torn down!
²¹ How long must I see the war flags?
    How long must I hear the war trumpets?
