Jeremiah 6:24-26
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 We have heard about it,
and we are discouraged.[a]
Distress has seized us—
pain like a woman in(A) labor.(B)
25 Don’t go out to the fields;
don’t walk on the road.
For the enemy has a sword;
terror is on every side.(C)
26 My dear[b] people, dress yourselves in sackcloth
and roll in the dust.(D)
Mourn as you would for an only son,(E)
a bitter lament,
for suddenly the destroyer(F) will come on us.(G)

24 We have heard reports about them,
and our hands hang limp.(A)
Anguish(B) has gripped us,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(C)
25 Do not go out to the fields
or walk on the roads,
for the enemy has a sword,
and there is terror on every side.(D)
26 Put on sackcloth,(E) my people,
and roll in ashes;(F)
mourn with bitter wailing(G)
as for an only son,(H)
for suddenly the destroyer(I)
will come upon us.
