Jeremiah 6:24-26

Tree of Life Version

²⁴ “We have heard of their fame.
    Our hands hang limp;
        anguish has gripped us,
        pain like a woman in labor.
²⁵ Don’t go out into the field
        or walk on the road.
    Since the enemy has a sword,
        there’s terror on every side!”

²⁶ “Daughter of My people,
    put on sackcloth and roll in ashes.
    Mourn as for an only son
        with bitter lamentation.”
    “For suddenly the destroyer
        will come on us!”
