Jeremiah 4:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ They surround her like watchmen guarding a field
    because she has rebelled against me, says the Lord.
¹⁸ Your conduct and your evil deeds
    have brought this upon you.
How bitter is your punishment!
    It has pierced the depths of your heart.
¹⁹ How great is my anguish
    that causes me to writhe in pain!
I cannot keep silent in my agony
    as my heart beats wildly.
For I have heard the sound of the trumpet
    and that of the battle cry.
