²⁵ Do not go out into the field,
Nor walk by the way.
Because of the sword of the enemy,
Fear is on every side.

²⁹ Their ^(A)tents and their flocks they shall take away.
They shall take for themselves their curtains,
All their vessels and their camels;
And they shall cry out to them,
^(B)‘Fear is on every side!’

^10 (A)For I heard many ^[a]mocking:
“Fear on every side!”
“Report,” they say, “and we will report it!”
^(B)All my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying,
“Perhaps he can be induced;
Then we will prevail against him,
And we will take our revenge on him.”

¹⁸ If I go out to ^(A)the field,
Then behold, those slain with the sword!
And if I enter the city,
Then behold, those sick from famine!
Yes, both prophet and ^(B)priest go about in a land they do not know.’ ”

^13 (A)For I hear the slander of many;
^(B)Fear is on every side;
While they ^(C)take counsel together against me,
They scheme to take away my life.
