Jeremiah 4:20-22

Good News Translation

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?
²² The Lord says, “My people are stupid;
    they don't know me.
They are like foolish children;
    they have no understanding.
They are experts at doing what is evil,
    but failures at doing what is good.”
