Jeremiah 4:19-29 "Ah, my belly! Ah, my belly!" shalt thou cry, "how is my heart so sore?" My heart panteth within me, I cannot be still, for I have heard the crying of the trumpets, and peals of war.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ "Ah, my belly! Ah, my belly!" shalt thou cry, "how is my heart so sore?" My heart panteth within me, I cannot be still, for I have heard the crying of the trumpets, and peals of war. ²⁰ They cry murder upon murder; the whole land shall perish. Immediately my tents were destroyed, and my hangings, in the twinkling of an eye. ²¹ How long shall I see the tokens of war, and hear the noise of the trumpets? ²² "Nevertheless this shall come upon them because my people is become foolish, and hath utterly no understanding. They are the children of foolishness, and without any discretion. To do evil, they have wit enough: but to do well, they have no wisdom." ²³ I have looked upon the earth, and see, it is waste and void. I looked toward heaven, and it had no shine. ²⁴ I beheld the mountains, and they tremble, and all the hills were in a fear. ²⁵ I looked about me, and there was nobody, and all the birds of the air were away. ²⁶ I marked well, and the plowed field was become waste: yea, all their cities were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and indignation of his wrath. ²⁷ For thus hath the LORD said, "The whole land shall be desolate, yet will I not then have done. ²⁸ And therefore let the earth mourn, and let the heaven be sorry above: for the things that I have purposed and taken upon me to do, shall not repent me, and I will not go from it." ²⁹ The whole land shall flee, for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen: they shall run into dens, into woods, and climb up the stony rocks. All the cities shall be void, and no man dwelling therein.
