Jeremiah 6:25-27

Evangelical Heritage Version

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.

²⁷ I have made you like someone who tests metals.
My people are the ore that is being tested.
Observe them,
and examine their ways.
