A Lament for the Desolation of Judah

Jeremiah 4:19-22, 27 NKJV

(19) O my soul, my soul! I am pained in my very heart! My heart makes a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, Because you have heard, O my soul, The sound of the trumpet, The alarm of war. (20) Destruction upon destruction is cried, For the whole land is plundered. Suddenly my tents are plundered, And my curtains in a moment. (21) How long will I see the standard, And hear the sound of the trumpet? (22) "For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge." (27) For thus says the LORD: "The whole land shall be desolate; Yet I will not make a full end.
