And you [plundered one], when you are made desolate, what will you do?

Jeremiah 4:30 - La Biblia de las Americas
Y tù, desolada, ¿qué harás?
Aunque te vistas de escarlata,
aunque te pongas adornos de oro,
aunque te agrandes con pintura los ojos,
en vano te embelleces;
te desprecian tus amantes,
sòlo buscan tu vida.
Jeremiah 4:30 - The Message
And you, what do you think youre up to?
Dressing up in party clothes,
Decking yourselves out in jewelry,
putting on lipstick and rouge and mascara!
Your primping goes for nothing.
Youre not going to seduce anyone. Theyre out to kill you!
And whats that I hear? The cry of a woman in labor,
the screams of a mother giving birth to her firstborn.
Its the cry of Daughter Zion, gasping for breath,
reaching out for help:
"Help, oh help me! Im dying!
The killers are on me!"
Jeremiah 4:30 - New American Standard Bible
And you, O desolate one, what will you do? Although you dress in scarlet, Although you decorate {yourself with} ornaments of gold, Although you enlarge your eyes with paint, In vain you make yourself beautiful. {Your} lovers despise you; They seek your life.

Sòlo buscan tu vida.
