Jeremiah 6:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel (ruthless and inhuman) and have no mercy. Their voice sounds like the roaring sea; they ride on horses, every one set in array as a man for battle against you, O Daughter of Zion!

²⁴ We have heard the report of it; our hands become feeble and helpless. Anguish has taken hold of us, pangs like that of a woman in childbirth.

²⁵ Go not out into the field nor walk on the road, for the enemy is armed with the sword; terror is on every side.
