Scripture Reading
Jeremiah 4:19-31
19 O my soul, my soul!
I am pained in my very heart!
My heart makes a noise in me;
I cannot hold my peace,
Because you have heard, O my soul,
The sound of the trumpet,
The alarm of war.
20 Destruction upon destruction is cried,
For the whole land is plundered.
Suddenly my tents are plundered,
And my curtains in a moment.
21 How long will I see the [a]standard,
And hear the sound of the trumpet?
22 “For My people are foolish,
They have not known Me.
They are [b]silly children,
And they have no understanding.
They are wise to do evil,
But to do good they have no knowledge.”
23 I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void;
And the heavens, they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled,
And all the hills moved back and forth.
25 I beheld, and indeed there was no man,
And all the birds of the heavens had fled.
26 I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness,
And all its cities were broken down
At the presence of the Lord,
By His fierce anger.
27 For thus says the Lord:
“The whole land shall be desolate;
Yet I will not make a full end.
28 For this shall the earth mourn,
And the heavens above be black,
Because I have spoken.
I have purposed and will not relent,
Nor will I turn back from it.
29 The whole city shall flee from the noise of the horsemen and bowmen.
They shall go into thickets and climb up on the rocks.
Every city shall be forsaken,
And not a man shall dwell in it.
30 “And when you are plundered,
What will you do?
Though you clothe yourself with crimson,
Though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
Though you enlarge your eyes with paint,
In vain you will make yourself fair;
Your lovers will despise you;
They will seek your life.
31 “For I have heard a voice as of a woman in [c]labor,
The anguish as of her who brings forth her first child,
The voice of the daughter of Zion bewailing herself;
She spreads her hands, saying,
‘Woe is me now, for my soul is [d]weary
Because of murderers!’

Scripture Union Daily Guide – 14 November 2025 | OUTLINE
In Jeremiah 4:19-21, Jeremiah, like Samuel (1 Samuel 15:35-,16:1) continues to agonize and mourn for Judah. Why and what can we learn from this?
Sin has grievous consequences (Jeremiah 4:18; Romans 6:23). Nothing can be compared with the devastation of war (see Jeremiah 4:20,23-26,27,29-31). Evidence of this can be seen in many countries of Africa. Instead of apportioning blame to our political leaders, we should, like Jeremiah, bear the burden to pray for true repentance and restoration of our nations. See 2 Chronicles 7:14; 1 Timothy 2:1-4.
According to Jeremiah 4:22, what was responsible for Judah’s disobedience? Is this not the same reason for ungodliness in our churches and society? Most times, people are ignorant of the consequences of their actions. Like Jeremiah, believers should be mindful that many people lack the knowledge of God and the implications of their sinful acts (Jeremiah 4:22-24; Hosea 4:6).
Prevention is better than cure. When people reject God’s warnings, destruction is sure. And no human efforts and sacrifices can save or restore what God has planned to destroy (Jeremiah 4:25-30). It is indeed a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God (Hebrews 10:30-31).
