Jeremiah 4:19

Anguish over Judah’s Desolation

19 ^aMy 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.

Lamentations 1:20

20 “Look, O Lord, for I am in distress;
^bmy stomach churns;
my heart is wrung within me,
because I have been very rebellious.
^cIn the street the sword bereaves;
in the house it is like death.
