Jeremiah 6:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

²³ Its warriors grip bows and spears.
They are cruel and merciless.
They sound like the roaring sea.
They ride horses, arranged like soldiers ready for battle
    against you, O daughter of Zion.

²⁴ We have heard the news about them,
and our hands hang limp.
Anguish grips us like a woman in labor.
²⁵ Do not go out to the field.
Do not walk on the road,
because the enemy has a sword.
There is terror on every side.
