Jeremiah 4:29-31
Evangelical Heritage Version
29 At the sound of riders and archers,
the people of every city will flee.
They will go off into the brush.
They will climb up into the rocks.
Every city will be abandoned.
There will not be anyone to live in them.
30 You are destroyed!
What are you doing?
Why do you dress in scarlet
and put on gold jewelry?
Why do you put makeup on your eyes?
You are making yourself look beautiful for nothing.
Your lovers reject you.
They seek your life.
31 Listen, I hear a cry like that of a woman in labor,
a cry of pain like that of a woman giving birth to her first child,
the cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath,
stretching out her hands and saying,
“Oh no, it is hopeless!
My life is slipping away in the presence of 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.
