Jeremiah 6:24-26

Jubilee Bible 2000

²⁴ We have heard the fame thereof; our hands wax feeble; anguish has taken hold of us, and pain as of a woman in travail.

²⁵ Do not go forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is 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.
