20 Disaster after disaster is reported;
    the whole country has been ·destroyed [devastated].
My tents are ·destroyed [devastated] ·in only a moment [suddenly].
    My curtains are torn down quickly.
21 How long must I look at the war flag?
    How long must I listen to the ·war trumpet [L sound of the ram’s horn]?

22 The Lord says, “My people are ·foolish [stupid].
    They do not know me.
They are stupid children;
    they don’t understand.
They are ·skillful [wise] at doing evil,
    but they don’t know how to do good.”
