Jeremiah 4:17-19
Contemporary English Version

16-17 The Lord said,

“Tell the nations that my people
    have rebelled against me.
And so an army will come
    from far away
to surround Jerusalem
    and the towns of Judah.
I, the Lord, have spoken.

18 “People of Judah,
    your hearts will be in pain,
but it's your own fault
    that you will be punished.”

Jeremiah's Vision of the Coming Punishment

19 I can't stand the pain!
My heart pounds,
    as I twist and turn in agony.
I hear the signal trumpet
and the battle cry of the enemy,
    and I cannot be silent.
