Jeremiah 6:24-26

Amplified Bible

²⁴ 
We have heard the report of it;
Our hands become limp and helpless.
Anguish has gripped us,
Pain like that of a woman in childbirth.
²⁵ 
Do not go out into the field
Nor walk on the road,
For the enemy is armed with the sword;
Terror is on every side.
²⁶ 
O daughter of my people [says Jeremiah],
Clothe yourself in sackcloth and wallow in ashes;
Mourn [aloud] as for an only son,
A most bitter cry [of sorrow and regret],
For suddenly the destroyer will come upon us [on both prophet and people].
