More about The silence after the noise

"I heard and my belly trembled, my lips quivered at the sound. Decay comes into my bones; I tremble where I stand, since I must wait quietly for a day of distress to come against the people who will invade us. Though the fig tree does not blossom, and there is no yield on the vines, though the olive crop fails, and the fields produce no food, the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is no cattle in the stalls."
Habakkuk 3:16-17

"My eyes fail from weeping, I am in torment within; my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city. They say to their mothers, 'Where is bread and wine?' as they faint like the wounded in the streets of the city, as their lives ebb away in their mothers' arms."
Lamentations 2:11-12

"Speak this word to them: 'Let my eyes overflow with tears night and day without ceasing; for the Virgin Daughter, my people, has suffered a grievous wound, a crushing blow. If I go into the country, I see those slain by the sword; if I go into the city, I see the ravages of famine. Both prophet and priest have gone to a land they know not.'"
Jeremiah 14:17-18

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
