Jeremiah 4:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ The pain! I can't bear the pain!
My heart! My heart is beating wildly!
I can't keep quiet;
I hear the trumpets
    and the shouts of battle.
²⁰ One disaster follows another;
    the whole country is left in ruins.
Suddenly our tents are destroyed;
    their curtains are torn to pieces.
²¹ How long must I see the battle raging
    and hear the blasts of trumpets?
