¹⁷ The enemy has surrounded Jerusalem as men guard a field,
    because Judah ·turned [rebelled; transgressed] against me,’” says the Lord.
¹⁸ “·The way you have lived and acted [^LYour path/way and your deeds]
    has brought this trouble to you.
This is your ·punishment [trouble; disaster].
    How ·terrible [bitter] it is!
    ·The pain stabs [^LIt reaches] your heart!”

¹⁹ Oh, ·how I hurt [my pain/anguish/^Linnards]! ·How I hurt [My pain/anguish/^Linnards]!
    ·I am bent over in pain [^LMy heart writhes].
Oh, the ·torture in [^Lwalls of] my heart!
    My heart is pounding inside me.
    I cannot keep quiet,
because I have heard the sound of the ·trumpet [ram’s horn].
    I have heard the shouts of war.
