18. Your conduct and your deeds have brought these things on you. This is your calamity! How bitter it is! How it smites your heart!
19. My stomach, my stomach! I writhe in anguish! The pain of my heart! My heart is pounding within me! I cannot keep silent because I have heard, O my soul, the sound of the shofar, the battle-cry of war.
20. Disaster on disaster is reported. So the whole land is ruined. My tents are suddenly ravaged, my curtains in an instant.
21. How long must I see the battle standard and hear the sound of the shofar?
