Jeremiah 4:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ How great is my anguish
    that causes me to writhe in pain!
I cannot keep silent in my agony
    as my heart beats wildly.
For I have heard the sound of the trumpet
    and that of the battle cry.
²⁰ One disaster follows upon another;
    the entire land lies in ruins.
My tents are suddenly destroyed,
    everything that offered me shelter.
²¹ How long must I see the standard raised
    and hear the sound of the trumpet?
