Jeremiah 4:17-21

‘Like watchmen of a field they are against her all around, Because she has rebelled against Me,’ declares the Lord.

“Your ways and your deeds Have brought these things upon you. This is your evil. How bitter! How it has touched your heart!” Grief over Judah’s Devastation

My soul, my soul! I am in anguish! Oh, my heart! My heart is pounding in me; I cannot keep silent, Because, my soul, you have heard The sound of the trumpet, The alarm of war.

Disaster upon disaster is proclaimed, For the whole land is devastated; Suddenly my tents are devastated, And my curtains in an instant.

How long must I see the flag And hear the sound of the trumpet?
