Jeremiah 6:25-27

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁵Do not go out into the field,
or walk on the road;
for the enemy has a sword,
terror is on every side.’

²⁶O my poor people, put on sackcloth,
    and roll in ashes;
make mourning as for an only child,
    most bitter lamentation:
for suddenly the destroyer
    will come upon us.

²⁷I have made you a tester and a refiner^[a] among my people
so that you may know and test their ways.
