Jeremiah 4:18 BBE

¹⁶  Make this come to the minds of the nations, make a statement openly against Jerusalem, that attackers are coming from a far country and their voices will be loud against the towns of Judah.

¹⁷  Like keepers of a field they are against her on every side; because she has been fighting against me, says the Lord.

¹⁸  Your ways and your doings have made these things come on you; this is your sin; truly it is bitter, going deep into your heart.

¹⁹  My soul, my soul! I am pained to my inmost heart; my heart is troubled in me; I am not able to be quiet, because the sound of the horn, the note of war, has come to my ears.

²⁰  News is given of destruction on destruction; all the land is made waste: suddenly my tents, straight away my curtains, are made waste.
