Jeremiah 4:19-26
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?
22 “For (D)my people are foolish;
they know me not;
they are stupid children;
they have no understanding.
(E)They are ‘wise’—in doing evil!
But how to do good they know not.”
23 I looked on the earth, and behold, it was (F)without form and void;
(G)and to the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I looked on (H)the mountains, and behold, they were quaking,
and all the hills moved to and fro.
25 (I)I looked, and behold, there was no man,
and all the birds of the air had fled.
26 I looked, and behold, the (J)fruitful land was a desert,
and all its cities were laid in ruins
before the Lord, before (K)his fierce anger.
Jeremiah 2:6

who brought us up from the land of Egypt,
who led us (B)in the wilderness,
in a land of deserts and pits,
in a land of drought and deep darkness,
in a land that none passes through,
where no man dwells?’
Isaiah 49:19
English Standard Version
19 “Surely your waste and your desolate places
and your devastated land—
(A)surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants,
and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
