Jeremiah 4:19-31

19My anguishH2342, my anguishH2342! I am pained at my very heartH3820; my heartH3820 is disquieted in me; I cannot hold my peace; because thou hast heardH8085, O my soulH5315, the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the alarmH8643 of warH4421. 20DestructionH7667 upon destructionH7667 is cried; for the whole landH776 is laid waste: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 destroyedH7703, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281. 21How long shall I seeH7200 the standardH5251, and hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782? 22For my peopleH5971 are foolish, they knowH3045 me not; they are sottish children, and they have no understandingH995; they are wiseH2450 to do evilH7489, but to do goodH3190 they have no knowledge.

23I beheld the earthH776, and, lo, it was waste and void; and the heavensH8064, and they had no lightH216. 24I beheld the mountainsH2022, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hillsH1389 moved to and fro. 25I beheld, and, lo, there was no manH120, and all the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 were fledH5074. 26I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful field was a wildernessH4057, and all the citiesH5892 thereof were brokenH5422 downH5422 at the presenceH6440 of Jehovah, and before his fierce angerH639.

27For thusH3541 saith Jehovah, The whole landH776 shall beH1961 a desolationH8077; yet will I not makeH6213 a full end. 28For this shall the earthH776 mournH56, and the heavensH8064 above be black; because I have spokenH1696 it, I have purposed it, and I have not repentedH5162, neither will I turnH7725 backH7725 from it. 29Every cityH5892 fleeth for the noise of the horsemenH6571 and bowmen; they goH935 into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocksH3710: every cityH5892 is forsaken, and not a manH376 dwelleth therein. 30And thou, when thou art madeH6213 desolate, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with scarletH8144, though thou deckest thee with ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091, though thou enlargest thine eyesH5869 with paint, in vain dost thou makeH6213 thyself fair; thy lovers despise thee, they seekH1245 thy lifeH5315. 31For I have heardH8085 a voiceH6963 as of a woman in travail, the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voiceH6963 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, that gaspeth for breath, that spreadeth her handsH3709, saying, WoeH188 is me now! for my soulH5315 fainteth before the murderers.
