Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 22 is found in chapter 18 of Jeremiah. The people respond to the message by conspiring against Jeremiah and declaring that they will not abandon their own customs. The prophet contrasts this conduct with the unusualness of a nation abandoning its god. The final prayer is a severe lament over the persecution suffered by one who had interceded for them.

daß ein Geschrei aus ihren Häusern gehört werde, wie du plötzlich habest Kriegsvolk über sie kommen lassen. Denn sie haben eine Grube gegraben, mich zu fangen, und meinen Füßen Stricke gelegt.
Óigase clamor de sus casas, cuando trajeres sobre ellos ejército de repente: porque cavaron hoyo para prenderme, y a mis pies han escondido lazos.
Que se oigan gritos en sus casas cuando traigas de repente contra ellos una banda de saqueadores, porque han cavado una fosa para atraparme y han escondido trampas a mis pies.
Qu'on entende des cris sortir de leurs maisons, Quand soudain tu feras fondre sur eux des bandes armées! Car ils ont creusé une fosse pour me prendre, Ils ont tendu des filets sous mes pieds.
Sieno udite le strida dalle case loro, quando in uno stante tu avrai fatte venir sopra loro delle schiere; perciocchè hanno cavata una fossa, per prendermi; ed hanno di nascosto tesi de’ lacci a’ miei piedi.
Ouça-se o clamor de suas casas, quando de repente trouxeres uma tropa sobre eles. Porquanto cavaram uma cova para prender-me e armaram laços aos meus pés.
你使敵軍忽然臨到他們的時候, 願人聽見哀聲從他們的屋內發出; 因他們挖坑要捉拿我, 暗設羅網要絆我的腳。
