Jeremiah 6:23-25
23
They are armed with bow and spear;
they are cruel and show no mercy.
They sound like the roaring sea
as they ride on their horses;
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, O Daughter of Zion.”
24
We have heard reports about them,
and our hands hang limp.
Anguish has gripped us,
pain like that of a woman in labor.
25
Do not go out to the fields
or walk on the roads,
for the enemy has a sword,
and there is terror on every side.
