Jeremiah 6:22-30

22ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, there is 1a peopleH5971 comingH935 from the northH6828 landH776, And a greatH1419 nationH1471 will be stirredH5782 upH5782 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, LinedH6186 upH6186 as a manH376 for the battleH4421 AgainstH5921 you, daughterH1323 of ZionH6726!”24We have 6heardH8085 the reportH8089 of it; Our handsH3027 areH7503 limpH7503. 7AnguishH6869 has seizedH2388 us, PainH2427 like that of a woman inH3205 childbirthH3205.258Do not goH3318 outH3318 into the fieldH7704, And 9do not walkH1980 on the roadH1870; For the enemyH340 has a swordH2719, 10TerrorH4032 is on everyH5439 sideH5439.26DaughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, 11putH2296 onH2296 sackclothH8242 And 12rollH6428 in ashesH665; 1314MournH60 as for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, A mostH8563 bitterH8563 mourningH4553. For suddenlyH6597 the destroyerH7703 Will comeH935 againstH935 us.

27“I have 15madeH5414 you an assayerH969 and an examinerH1219 among My peopleH5971, So that you may knowH3045 and putH974 their wayH1870 toH974 theH974 testH974.”28AllH3605 of them are stubbornlyH5637 rebelliousH5637, 16GoingH1980 aboutH1980 as a slandererH7400; They are 17bronzeH5178 and ironH1270. They are, allH3605 of them, corruptH7843.29The bellowsH4647 blowH2787 fiercelyH2787, The leadH5777 is consumedH8552 by the fireH800; In vainH7723 the refiningH6884 goesH6884 onH6884, But the 18wickedH7451 are not 19separatedH5423.3020They callH7121 them rejectedH3988 silverH3701, BecauseH3588 the 21LordH3068 has rejectedH3988 them.
