19Oh, my anguish, my anguish!b

I writhe in pain.c

Oh, the agony of my heart!

My heart poundsd within me,

I cannot keep silent.e

For I have heard the sound of the trumpet;f

I have heard the battle cry.g

20Disaster follows disaster;h

the whole land lies in ruins.i

In an instant my tentsj are destroyed,

my shelter in a moment.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

Crash follows hard on crash;

the whole land is laid waste.

Suddenly my tents are laid waste,

my curtains in a moment.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in agony!

Oh, the pain in my heart!

My heart pounds;

I cannot be silent.

For you, my soul,

have heard the sound of the trumpet—

the shout of battle.

Disaster after disaster is reported

because the whole land is destroyed.

Suddenly my tents are destroyed,

my tent curtains, in a moment.

NLTNew Living Translation

My heart, my heart—I writhe in pain!

My heart pounds within me! I cannot be still.

For I have heard the blast of enemy trumpets

and the roar of their battle cries.

Waves of destruction roll over the land,

until it lies in complete desolation.

Suddenly my tents are destroyed;

in a moment my shelters are crushed.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

My bowels, my bowels! I writhe!

The walls of my heart!

My heart is restless within me, I cannot keep silent,

for I hear in my inner self the sound of a horn, the alarm of war.

Destruction on destruction is proclaimed,

for all of the land is devastated.

Suddenly my tents are devastated,

my tent curtains in a moment.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled:

Suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
