19My anguish, my anguish! I am pained at my very heart; my heart is disquieted in me; I can`t hold my peace; because you have heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
20Destruction on destruction is cried; for the whole land is laid waste: suddenly are my tents destroyed, [and] my curtains in a moment.
21How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22For my people are foolish, they know don`t me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
23I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24I saw the mountains, and, behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.
25I saw, and, behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky were fled.
