Jeremiah 4:17-19
EasyEnglish Bible

17 Their soldiers are all around Jerusalem's walls,
    like guards around a farmer's field.’

The Lord says, ‘This will happen because the people of Judah have turned against me. 18 I will punish you very much, because that is what you deserve. You have lived in a wicked way and you have done evil things. My punishment will give you pain that goes all through you.’

Jeremiah is very upset

19 I am so upset!
    My body is shaking with pain.
    My heart beats hard inside me.
I cannot keep still.
    I cannot keep quiet.
I have heard the noise of the enemy's trumpets
    and the shouts of their soldiers.
