The passage in its setting

Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of Jeremiah 4. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.

¹⁷ As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.

¹⁸ Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.

¹⁹ My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

²⁰ Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.

²¹ How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
