“Oh my anguish my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh the agony of my heart! My heart pounds within me, I cannot keep silent. For I have heard the sound of the trumpet; I have heard the battle cry. Disaster follows disaster, the whole land lies in ruins. Jeremiah 4:19-20

I was intrigued by the word disaster. It is made up of two words= dis (without) + aster (star). The idea of the word from Latin and Greek is “without your lucky star.” Israel and Judah had abandoned Yahweh and now they had to face the world without the one watching over them. They had to face calamity named Babylon and her ruthless armies.
