Jeremiah 4:19-31

19My bowelsH4578, my bowelsH4578! I am pained at my very heartH3820; my heartH3820 is disquieted in meH5315; I cannotH3808 hold my peace; becauseH3588 thou hast heardH8085, O my soulH5315, the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the alarmH8643 of warH4421. 20DestructionH7667 uponH5921 destructionH7667 is criedH7121; for the wholeH3605 landH776 is spoiled: suddenlyH6597 are my tentsH168 spoiled, and my curtainsH3407 in a momentH7281. 21HowH4970 longH5704 shall I seeH7200 the standardH5251, and hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782? 22For my peopleH5971 is foolishH191, they knowH3045 meH995 notH3808; they are sottish childrenH1121, and they have noneH3808 understandingH995: they are wiseH2450 to doH3190 evilH7489, but to doH3190 goodH3190 they have noH3808 knowledgeH3045. 23I beheld the earthH776, and, loH2009, it was wasteH8414 and voidH922; and the heavensH8064, and they had noH369 lightH216. 24I beheld the mountainsH2022, and, loH2009, they trembled, and allH3605 the hillsH1389 movedH7043 to and froH7043. 25I beheld, and, loH2009, there was noH369 manH120, and allH3605 the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064 were fledH5074. 26I beheld, and, loH2009, the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759 was a wildernessH4057, and allH3605 the citiesH5892 thereof were brokenH5422 downH5422 at the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and beforeH6440 his fierceH2740 angerH639. 27For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, The wholeH3605 landH776 shall be a desolationH8077; yet will I notH3808 makeH6213 a fullH3605 endH3617. 28For this shall the earthH776 mournH56, and the heavensH8064 aboveH5921 be blackH6937: becauseH3588 I have spokenH1696 it, I have purposedH2161 it, and I have notH3808 repentedH5162, neitherH3808 will I turnH7725 backH7725 from it. 29The wholeH3605 cityH5892 fleeth for the noiseH6963 of the horsemenH6571 and bowmenH7198; they goH935 intoH935 the thicketsH5645, and climbH5927 upH5927 uponH935 the rocksH3710: everyH3605 cityH5892 is forsaken, and notH369 a manH376 dwelleth therein. 30And thou, when thou art spoiled, whatH4100 wilt thou doH6213? ThoughH3588 thou clothest thyself with scarletH8144, thoughH3588 thou deckest thee with ornamentsH5716 of goldH2091, thoughH3588 thou enlargest thine eyesH5869 with paintH6320, in vainH7723 dost thou makeH6213 thyself fair; thy loversH5689 despiseH3988 thee, they seekH1245 thy lifeH5315. 31For I have heardH8085 a voiceH6963 as of a womanH1323 in travail, the anguishH6869 as of herH8085 that bringeth forthH8085 herH8085 firstH1069 childH1069, the voiceH6963 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726, that gaspeth for breathH3306, that spreadeth herH8085 handsH3709, sayingH6963, WoeH188 is meH4994 nowH4994! for my soulH5315 fainteth beforeH5888 the murderersH2026.
