Jeremiah 6:24-26
New International Reader's Version
24 We have heard reports about them.
And our hands can’t help us.
We are suffering greatly.
It’s like the pain of a woman having a baby.
25 Don’t go out to the fields.
Don’t walk on the roads.
Our enemies have swords.
And there is terror on every side.
26 My people, put on the clothes of sadness.
Roll among the ashes.
Mourn with bitter weeping
just as you would mourn for an only son.
The one who is going to destroy us
will come suddenly.
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.
