This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Yirmeyah’s sorrow for the country

Jer 4:19–22

19 My inward parts, my insides!

≈ I writhe with chest pains.

≈ My heart is pounding—I won’t stay silent,

→ because my soul, you hear the sound of the trumpet—an alarm for battle.

20 Destruction followed by more destruction has been proclaimed,

≈ because all the land has been devastated.

Suddenly my tents are devastated—

≈ my tent fabrics gone in a moment.

21 How long do I have to watch the enemy’s banner for?

How long will that trumpet sound go on for?

22 Yes, my people are foolish—they don’t know me.

≈ They’re like stupid children who don’t understand anything.

They’ve very clever at doing what’s evil

≈ and they don’t know how to do what’s good.
