Jeremiah:4:19-29

My bowels me #
ah #,
my bowels me #
ah #!
I am pained (
8675 )
at my very heart ;
my heart maketh a noise in me ;
I cannot hold my peace ,
because thou hast heard ,
O my soul ,
the sound of the trumpet ,
the alarm of war .
*
Destruction upon destruction is cried ;
for the whole land is spoiled :
suddenly are my tents spoiled ,
and my curtains in a moment .
*
How long shall I see the standard ,
and hear the sound of the trumpet ?
*
For my people is foolish ,
they have not known me ;
they are sottish children ,
and they have none understanding :
they are wise to do evil ,
but to do good they have no knowledge .
*
I beheld the earth ,
and ,
lo ,
it was without form ,
and void ;
and the heavens ,
and they had no light .
*
I beheld the mountains ,
and ,
lo ,
they trembled ,
and all the hills moved lightly .
*
I beheld ,
and ,
lo ,
there was no man ,
and all the birds of the heavens were fled .
*
I beheld ,
and ,
lo ,
the fruitful place was a wilderness ,
and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD ,
and by his fierce anger .
*
For thus hath the LORD said ,
The whole land shall be desolate ;
yet will I not make a full end .
*
For this shall the earth mourn ,
and the heavens above be black :
because I have spoken it ,
I have purposed it ,
and will not repent ,
neither will I turn back from it .
*
The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen qesheth #;
they shall go into thickets ,
and climb up upon the rocks :
every city shall be forsaken ,
and not a man dwell therein .
