Jeremiah 6:22-30

22ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, 1a peopleH5971 is comingH935 from the northH6828 landH776, And a greatH1419 nationH1471 will be arousedH5782 from the 2remoteH3411 partsH3411 of the earthH776.23They seizeH2388 3bowH7198 and spearH3591; They are 4cruelH394 and haveH7355 noH3808 mercyH7355; Their voiceH6963 5roarsH1993 like the seaH3220, And they rideH7392 on horsesH5483, ArrayedH6186 as a manH376 for the battleH4421 AgainstH5921 you, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726!”24We have 6heardH8085 the reportH8089 of it; Our handsH3027 are limpH7503. 7AnguishH6869 has seizedH2388 us, PainH2427 as of a woman in childbirthH3205.258Do not goH3318 out into the fieldH7704 And 9do not walkH1980 on the roadH1870, For the enemyH340 has a swordH2719, 10TerrorH4032 is on everyH5439 sideH5439.26O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, 11putH2296 on sackclothH8242 And 12rollH6428 in ashesH665; 1314MournH60 as for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, A lamentationH4553 mostH8563 bitterH8563. For suddenlyH6597 the destroyerH7703 Will comeH935 upon us.

27“I have 15madeH5414 you an assayerH969 and a testerH4013 among My peopleH5971, That you may knowH3045 and assayH974 their wayH1870.”28AllH3605 of them are stubbornlyH5637 rebelliousH5637, 16GoingH1980 about as a talebearerH7400. They are 17bronzeH5178 and ironH1270; They, allH3605 of them, are corruptH7843.29The bellowsH4647 blowH2787 fiercelyH2787, The leadH5777 is consumedH8552 by the fireH800; In vainH7723 the refiningH6884 goesH6884 on, But the 18wickedH7451 are not 19separatedH5423.3020They callH7121 them rejectedH3988 silverH3701, BecauseH3588 the 21LordH3068 has rejectedH3988 them.
