Jeremiah 4:17-19
King James Version
17 As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the Lord.
18 Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
19 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained 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.

17 (A)Like keepers of a field they are against her all around,
Because she has been rebellious against Me,” says the Lord.

Because it reaches to your heart.”
Sorrow for the Doomed Nation
19 O my (C)soul, my soul!
I am pained in my very heart!

Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.

for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.
