Jeremiah 6:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 We hear news of them;
our hands hang helpless,
Anguish takes hold of us,
pangs like a woman in childbirth.(A)
25 Do not go out into the field,
do not step into the street,
For the enemy has a sword;
terror on every side!
26 Daughter of my people, dress in sackcloth,
roll in the ashes.
Mourn as for an only child
with bitter wailing:
“How suddenly the destroyer
comes upon us!”(B)
Jeremiah 6:24-26
New International Version
24 We have heard reports about them,
and our hands hang limp.(A)
Anguish(B) has gripped us,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(C)
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.(D)
26 Put on sackcloth,(E) my people,
and roll in ashes;(F)
mourn with bitter wailing(G)
as for an only son,(H)
for suddenly the destroyer(I)
will come upon us.
