Jeremiah 6:24-26

Evangelical Heritage Version

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.
²⁶ Put on sackcloth, daughter of my people.
Roll in ashes.
Mourn as you would for an only son,
because suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
