In context
19I am pained in my bowels, my bowels, and the sensitive powers of my heart; my soul is in great commotion, my heart is torn: I will not be silent, for my soul has heard the sound of a trumpet, the cry of war, and of distress: it calls on destruction;
20for all the land is distressed: suddenly my tabernacle is distressed, my curtains have been rent asunder.
— Jeremiah 4:21 —
22For the princes of my people have not known me, they are foolish and unwise children: they are wise to do evil, but how to do good they have not known.
23I looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was not; and to the sky, and there was no light in it.
