Jeremiah 6:26-28

Young's Literal Translation

²⁶ O daughter of My people, Gird on sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes, The mourning of an only one make for thee, A lamentation most bitter, For suddenly come doth the spoiler against us.

²⁷ A watch-tower I have given thee, Among My people a fortress, And thou knowest, and hast tried their way.

²⁸ All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking slanderously -- brass and iron, All of them are corrupters.
