Jeremiah 4:19-31
19My anguishH4578, my anguishH4578! I writhe in painH2342! Oh, the painH7023 in my chestH3820! My heartH3820 poundsH1993 within me; I cannotH3808 be silentH2790. ForH3588 IH5315 have heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the hornH7782, the alarmH8643 of battleH4421.20DisasterH7667 afterH5921 disasterH7667 is proclaimedH7121, forH3588 the wholeH3605 landH776 is laid wasteH7703. My tentsH168 are destroyedH7703 in an instantH6597, my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281.21How longH5704H4970 must I seeH7200 the signal flagH5251 and hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the hornH7782?
22“ForH3588 My peopleH5971 are foolsH191;they have notH3808 known MeH3045.TheyH1992 are foolishH5530 childrenH1121,withoutH3808 understandingH995.TheyH1992 are skilledH2450H1992 in doing evilH7489,but they knowH3045 notH3808 how to do goodH3190.”
23I lookedH7200 at the earthH776H2009,and it was formlessH8414 and voidH922;I looked toH413 the heavensH8064,and they had noH369 lightH216.24I lookedH7200 at the mountainsH2022,and beholdH2009, they were quakingH7493;allH3605 the hillsH1389 were swayingH7043.25I lookedH7200H2009, and noH369 man was leftH120;allH3605 the birdsH5775 of the airH8064 had fledH5074.26I lookedH7200H2009, and the fruitful landH3759 was a desertH4057.AllH3605 its citiesH5892 were torn downH5422beforeH6440 the LORDH3068,beforeH6440 His fierceH2740 angerH639.
27ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:
“The wholeH3605 landH776 will beH1961 desolateH8077,but I will notH3808 finish its destructionH3617H6213.28ThereforeH5921H2063 the earthH776 will mournH56and the heavensH8064 aboveH4605H5921H3588 will grow darkH6937.I have spokenH1696, I have plannedH2161,and I will notH3808 relentH5162H3808 or turn backH7725H4480.”
29EveryH3605 cityH5892 fleesH1272at the soundH6963 of the horsemanH6571 and archerH7411H7198.They enterH935 the thicketsH5645and climbH5927 among the rocksH3710.EveryH3605 cityH5892 is abandonedH5800;noH369 inhabitant is leftH3427H376.
30And youH859, O devastatedH7703 oneH4100, what will you doH6213,thoughH3588 you dressH3847 yourself in scarletH8144,thoughH3588 you adornH5710 yourself with goldH2091 jewelryH5716,thoughH3588 you enlargeH7167 your eyesH5869 with paintH6320?You adorn yourselfH3302 in vainH7723; your loversH5689 despiseH3988 you;they want to takeH1245 your lifeH5315.31ForH3588 I hearH8085 a cryH6963 like a woman in laborH2470,a cry of anguishH6869 like one bearing her first childH1069—the cryH6963 of the DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726 gasping for breathH3306,stretching outH6566 her handsH3709 to say,“Woe is meH188H4994,forH3588 my soulH5315 faintsH5888 before the murderersH2026!”
