Jeremiah 4:21

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

Jeremiah 4:21 In-Context

19 My 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 Disaster follows hard on disaster, the whole land is laid waste. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, my curtains in a moment.
21 How long must I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 "For my people are foolish, they know me not; they are stupid children, they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil, but how to do good they know not."
23 I looked on the earth, and lo, it was waste and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light.
