Good News Bible

Jeremiah 4:19-22 Good News Bible (GNB)

19. The pain! I can't bear the pain!My heart! My heart is beating wildly!I can't keep quiet;I hear the trumpetsand the shouts of battle.

20. One disaster follows another;the whole country is left in ruins.Suddenly our tents are destroyed;their curtains are torn to pieces.

21. How long must I see the battle ragingand hear the blasts of trumpets?

22. The Lord says, “My people are stupid;they don't know me.They are like foolish children;they have no understanding.They are experts at doing what is evil,but failures at doing what is good.”
