Jeremiah 4:29-31
Christian Standard Bible
29 Every city flees(A)
at the sound of the horseman and the archer.
They enter the thickets
and climb among the rocks.(B)
Every city is abandoned;
no inhabitant is left.
30 And you, devastated one, what are you doing(C)
that you dress yourself in scarlet,
that you adorn yourself with gold jewelry,
that you enhance your eyes with makeup?(D)
You beautify yourself for nothing.
Your lovers reject you;(E)
they intend to take your life.(F)
31 I hear a cry like a woman in labor,(G)
a cry of anguish like one bearing her first child.
The cry of Daughter Zion gasping for breath,
stretching out her hands:(H)
“Woe is me, for my life is weary
because of the murderers!”
Jeremiah 4:29-31
New International Version
29 At the sound of horsemen and archers(A)
every town takes to flight.(B)
Some go into the thickets;
some climb up among the rocks.(C)
All the towns are deserted;(D)
no one lives in them.
