Lament over Judah’s Devastation: Библия онлайн, New American Standard Bible == БИБЛИЯ-ЦЕНТР

Jeremiah, Chapter 4, verses 19-31

¹⁹

My^gsoul, my^hsoul! I am in anguish!ⁱOh, my heart!
My heart is pounding in me;
I cannot be silent,
Because^jyou have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.

²⁰

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

²¹

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

²²

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

²³

I looked on the earth, and behold, it was^k formless and void;
And to the heavens, and they had no light.

²⁴

I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking,
And all the hills^lmoved to and fro.

²⁵

I looked, and behold, there was no man,
And all the birds of the heavens had fled.

²⁶

I looked, and behold,^mthe fruitful land was a wilderness,
And all its cities were pulled down
Before the LORD, before His fierce anger.

²⁷

For thus says the LORD,
“The whole land shall be a desolation,
Yet I will not execute a complete destruction.

²⁸

“For this the earth shall mourn
And the heavens above be dark,
Because I have spoken, I have purposed,
And I will notⁿchange My mind, nor will I turn from it.”

²⁹

At the sound of the horseman and bowman every city flees;
They go into the thickets and climb among the rocks;
Every city is forsaken,
And no man dwells in them.

³⁰

And you, O desolate one, what will you do?
Although you dress in scarlet,
Although you decorate yourself with ornaments of gold,
Although you enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you make yourself beautiful.
Your^olovers despise you;
They seek your life.

³¹

For I heard a^pcry as of a woman in labor,
The anguish as of one giving birth to her first child,
The^qcry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath,
Stretching out her^rhands, saying,
“Ah, woe is me, for^sI faint before murderers.”
