Isaiah 22:4-5
4Therefore I said:“Look away from me;
alet me weep bitter tears;
do not labor to comfort me
concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
5 bFor the Lord God of hosts has ca day
of tumult and dtrampling and econfusion
in fthe valley of vision,
a battering down of walls
and a shouting to the mountains.
Isaiah 59:11
11We all growl like bears;gwe moan and moan like doves;
hwe hope for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.
Jeremiah 4:19-21
Anguish over Judah’s Desolation
19 iMy anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!Oh the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
I cannot keep silent,
for I hear the sound of the trumpet,
the alarm of war.
20 jCrash follows hard on crash;
the whole land is laid waste.
kSuddenly my tents are laid waste,
my curtains in a moment.
21How long must I see the standard
and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Jeremiah 4:31
31For I heard la cry as of a woman in labor,anguish as of one giving birth to her first child,
the cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath,
mstretching out her hands,
“Woe is me! I am fainting before murderers.”
Amos 8:3
3 nThe songs of the temple ▼▼Or palace
pshall become wailings ▼▼Or The singing women of the palace shall wail
in that day,”declares the Lord God.
r“So many dead bodies!”
“They are thrown everywhere!”
s“Silence!”
