Jeremiah 4:19-29
I’m suffering! I’m really suffering! I’m hurting badly. My heart is suffering so much! It’s pounding inside me. I can’t keep silent. I’ve heard the sound of trumpets. I’ve heard the battle cry.One trouble follows another. The whole land is destroyed. In an instant my tents are gone. My home disappears in a moment.How long must I look at our enemy’s battle flag? How long must I hear the sound of the trumpets?The Lord says,“ My people are foolish. They do not know me. They are children who do not have any sense. They have no understanding at all. They are skilled in doing what is evil. They do not know how to do what is good.”I looked at the earth. It didn’t have any shape. And it was empty. I looked at the sky. Its light was gone.I looked at the mountains. They were shaking. All the hills were swaying.I looked. And there weren’t any people. Every bird in the sky had flown away.I looked. And the fruitful land had become a desert. All its towns were destroyed. The Lord had done all this because of his great anger.The Lord says,“ The whole land will be destroyed. But I will not destroy it completely.So the earth will be filled with sadness. The sky above will grow dark. I have spoken, and I will not take pity on them. I have made my decision, and I will not change my mind.”People can hear the sound of horsemen. Men armed with bows are coming. The people in every town run away. Some of them go into the bushes. Others climb up among the rocks. All the towns are deserted. No one is living in them.

Lamentations 2:3-4
When he was very angry, he took away Israel’s power. He pulled back his powerful right hand as the enemy approached. His burning anger blazed out in Jacob’s land.

His anger blazed out like fire. It burned up the homes in the city of Zion.

It will set the base of the mountains on fire.“ I will pile troubles on my people. I will shoot all my arrows at them.I will send them hunger. It will make them weak. I will send terrible sickness. I will send deadly plagues. I will send wild animals that will tear them apart. Snakes that glide through the dust will bite them.In the streets their children will be killed by swords. Their homes will be filled with terror. The young men and women will die. The babies and old people will die.

Lamentations 4:17-20
And that’s not all. Our eyes grew tired. We looked for help that never came. We watched from our towers. We kept looking for a nation that couldn’t save us.People hunted us down no matter where we went. We couldn’t even walk in our streets. Our end was near, so we only had a few days to live. Our end had come.Those who were hunting us down were faster than eagles in the sky. They chased us over the mountains. They hid and waited for us in the desert.Zedekiah, the Lord’ s anointed king, was our last hope. But he was caught in their traps. We thought he would keep us safe. We expected to continue living among the nations.
