Jeremiah 50:22
English Standard Version
22 (A)The noise of battle is in the land,
and great destruction!
Jeremiah 4:19-21
English Standard Version
Anguish over Judah's Desolation
19 (A)My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
Oh the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
I cannot keep silent,
for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.
20 (B)Crash follows hard on crash;
the whole land is laid waste.
(C)Suddenly my tents are laid waste,
my curtains in a moment.
21 How long must I see the standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Jeremiah 51:54-56
English Standard Version
54 (A)“A voice! A cry from Babylon!
The noise of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 For the Lord is laying Babylon waste
and stilling her mighty voice.
(B)Their waves roar like many waters;
the noise of their voice is raised,
56 for a destroyer has come upon her,
upon Babylon;
her warriors are taken;
their bows are broken in pieces,
(C)for the Lord is a God of recompense;
he will surely repay.
Isaiah 21:2-4
English Standard Version
2 A stern vision is told to me;
(A)the traitor betrays,
and the destroyer destroys.
Go up, O (B)Elam;
lay siege, O (C)Media;
all the (D)sighing she has caused
I bring to an end.
3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
(E)pangs have seized me,
like the pangs of a woman in labor;
I am bowed down so that I cannot hear;
I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
4 My heart staggers; horror has appalled me;
(F)the twilight I longed for
has been turned for me into trembling.
