Jeremiah 6:25-27

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

²⁶ O daughter of my people, gird yourselves with sackcloth and wallow in the ashes! Make lamentation, and bitter mourning, as for your only son. For the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.

²⁷ “I have set you as a defense and fortress among My people, so that you may know and try their ways.
