A message to the prophets:\par I am very sad—my heart is broken.\par All my bones are shaking.\par I (Jeremiah) am like a man that is drunk.\par Why? Because of the Lord\par and his holy words.\par
My whole body shook\par when I heard the story.\par I whistled out loud!\par I felt weak deep down in my bones.\par I just stood there shaking.\par So I will wait patiently\par for the day of destruction when they come to attack the people.\par
