Jeremiah 4:19-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

19. O my inward parts, my inward parts! I am in pain! O the walls of my heart! My heart pounds in me, I am not silent. For you have heard, O my being, the sound of the ram’s horn, a shout of battle!

20. Destruction upon destruction is cried, for all the land is ravaged. Suddenly my tents are ravaged – my curtains in a moment.

21. How long shall I see a banner, and hear the sound of the ram’s horn?

22. “For My people are foolish, they have not known Me. They are stupid children, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.”

23. I looked at the earth, and saw it was formless and empty. And the heavens, they had no light.

24. I looked at the mountains, and saw they shook, and all the hills were swaying.
