Jeremiah 4:19-21
International Standard Version
Jeremiah’s Lament for His People
19 “My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain.
Oh, the aching[a] of my heart!
My heart pounds within me;
I cannot keep silent.
For I hear the sound of the trumpet,[b]
the alarm for war.
20 Disaster upon disaster is proclaimed,
for the entire land is devastated.
Suddenly, my tent is destroyed,
in a moment my curtains.
21 How long will I see the battle standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
