Jeremiah 4:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ Disaster follows disaster;
    the whole land is ruined.
Suddenly, my tents are destroyed,
    my shelter in a moment.
²¹ How long must I see the battle flags
    and hear the blast of the trumpet?
²² My people are foolish.
    They don’t even know me!
They are thoughtless children
    without understanding;
        they are skilled at doing wrong,
        inept at doing right.
