Jeremiah 4:18-22

“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?

“For My people are foolish, They do not know Me; They are foolish children And have no understanding. They are skillful at doing evil, But they do not know how to do good.”
