Jeremiah 6:23-25

English Standard Version Anglicised

²³ They lay hold on bow and javelin;
    they are ^(A)cruel and have no mercy;
    ^(B)the sound of them is like the roaring sea;
they ride on horses,
    set in array as a man for battle,
    against you, O daughter of Zion!”
²⁴ We have heard the report of it;
    ^(C)our hands fall helpless;
anguish has taken hold of us,
    ^(D)pain as of a woman in labour.
²⁵ Go not out into the field,
    nor walk on the road,
for the enemy has a sword;
    ^(E)terror is on every side.
