25 Do not go out into the field
or walk on the road,
for the enemy has a sword;
terror is on every side.”(A)
26 O daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
and roll in ashes;
make mourning as for an only child,
most bitter lamentation,
for suddenly the destroyer
will come upon us.(B)

so that you may know and test their ways.
