Jeremiah 4:19

Read in context

Jeremiah 4:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

17 They surround her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against Me,” declares the LORD.

18 “Your ways and deeds have brought this upon you. This is your punishment; how bitter it is, because it pierces to the heart!”

19 My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain! Oh, the pain in my chest! My heart pounds within me; I cannot be silent. For I have heard the sound of the horn, the alarm of battle.

20 Disaster after disaster is proclaimed, for the whole land is laid waste. My tents are destroyed in an instant, my curtains in a moment.

21 How long must I see the signal flag and hear the sound of the horn?
