I see our tents suddenly destroyed, their curtains torn down in a mere instant. 21 "How long must I see the enemy's battle flags and hear the military signals of their bugles?" 22 The Lord answered, "This will happen because my people are foolish. They do not know me. They are like children who have no sense. They have no understanding. They are skilled at doing evil. They do not know how to do good."
