Jeremiah's Sorrow for His People (JER 4:19-22)

[4:19] The pain! I can't bear the pain! My heart! My heart is beating wildly! I can't keep quiet; I hear the trumpets and the shouts of battle.

[4:20] One disaster follows another; the whole country is left in ruins. Suddenly our tents are destroyed; their curtains are torn to pieces.

[4:21] How long must I see the battle raging and hear the blasts of trumpets?

[4:22] The Lord says, “My people are stupid; they don't know me. They are like foolish children; they have no understanding. They are experts at doing what is evil, but failures at doing what is good.”
