Jeremiah 6:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear is on every side.

²⁶ Gird thee with sackcloth, O daughter of my people, and sprinkle thee with ashes: make thee mourning as for an only son, a bitter lamentation, because the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.

²⁷ I have set thee for a strong trier among my people: and thou shalt know and prove their way.
