‏ Jeremiah 4:19

19. The prophet suddenly assumes the language of the Jewish state personified, lamenting its affliction (Jr 10:19, 20; 9:1, 10; Is 15:5; compare Lu 19:41).

at my very heart--Hebrew, "at the walls of my heart"; the muscles round the heart. There is a climax, the "bowels," the pericardium, the "heart" itself.

maketh ... noise--moaneth [Henderson].

alarm--the battle shout.
