Yes, proclaim against Jerusalem,
That watchers come from a afar country
And raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
Because she has been rebellious against Me,” says the Lord.
Have procured these things for you.
This is your wickedness,
Because it is bitter,
Because it reaches to your heart.”
Sorrow for the Doomed Nation
I am pained in my very heart!
My heart makes a noise in me;
I cannot hold my peace,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
For the whole land is plundered.
Suddenly bmy tents are plundered,
And my curtains in a moment.
| << Jeremiah 4:17 | Jeremiah 4:19 >> |
