Jeremiah 4:20-22

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.”
