Jeremiah 6:24-26

American Standard Version

²⁴ We have heard the report thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pangs as of a woman in travail. ²⁵ Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy, and terror, are on every side. ²⁶ O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
