Jeremiah 6:23-25

Revised Geneva Translation

²³ “They shall be weaponed with bow and shield. They are cruel and will have no compassion. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, well-appointed, like men of war against you, O daughter Zion.”

²⁴ We have heard of their fame. Our hands grow feeble. Sorrow has come upon us, as the sorrow of a woman in labor.

²⁵ Do not go forth into the field or walk by the way, for the sword of the enemy and fear are on every side.
