Jeremiah 6:24-26

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁴ We have heard the news about them.
Our hands hang limp.
We are gripped by anguish and pain
like a woman giving birth to a child.
²⁵ Don’t go into the field or walk on the road.
The enemy has a sword.
Terror is all around.
²⁶ Wear sackcloth, and roll around in ashes, my people.
Mourn as if you have lost your only child, and cry bitterly.
The destroyer will suddenly attack us.
