Jeremiah 4:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Sorrow for a Doomed Nation

¹⁹My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
    Oh, the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
    I cannot keep silent;
for I^[a] hear the sound of the trumpet,
    the alarm of war.
²⁰Disaster overtakes disaster,

    my curtains in a moment.
²¹How long must I see the standard,
    and hear the sound of the trumpet?
