Jeremiah 4:29-31
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Jeremiah 4:29-31
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
29 At the shout of rider and archer
each city takes to flight;
They shrink into the thickets,
they scale the rocks:
All the cities are abandoned,
no one lives in them.
30 You now who are doomed, what are you doing
dressing in purple,
bedecking yourself with gold,
Enlarging your eyes with kohl?
You beautify yourself in vain!
Your lovers reject you,
they seek your life.
31 Yes, I hear the cry, like that of a woman in labor,
like the anguish of a mother bearing her first child—
The cry of daughter Zion gasping,
as she stretches out her hands:
“Ah, woe is me! I sink exhausted
before my killers!”(A)
Jeremiah 4:29-31
New International Version
Jeremiah 4:29-31

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.
