Jeremiah 4:17-19

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ They have her surrounded^(A)
like those who guard a field,
because she has rebelled against me.^(B)
This is the Lord’s declaration.
¹⁸ Your way and your actions
have brought this on you.^(C)
This is your punishment. It is very bitter,
because it has reached your heart!

¹⁹ My anguish, my anguish!^[a] I writhe in agony!
Oh, the pain in^[b] my heart!^(D)
My heart pounds;
I cannot be silent.
For you, my soul,
have heard the sound of the ram’s horn—
the shout of battle.
