Jeremiah 6:22-30

22ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, BeholdH2009, a peopleH5971 cometh from the northH6828 countryH776; and a greatH1419 nationH1471 shall be stirredH5782 upH5782 from the uttermost partsH3411 of the earthH776. 23They lay holdH2388 on bowH7198 and spearH3591; they are cruelH394, and have noH3808 mercyH7355; their voiceH6963 roareth like the seaH3220, and they rideH7392 uponH5921 horsesH5483; everyH376 one set in arrayH4421, as a manH376 to the battleH4421, againstH5921 thee, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726. 24WeH8085 have heardH8085 the fameH8089 thereof; our handsH3027 wax feebleH7503: anguishH2427 hath takenH2388 holdH2388 of usH7503, and pangs as of a woman in travail. 25GoH3318 notH408 forthH3318 intoH3318 the fieldH7704, norH408 walkH1870 by the wayH1870; for there is the swordH2719 of the enemyH341, and terrorH4032 on everyH5439 sideH5439. 26O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, girdH2296 thee with sackclothH8242, and wallowH6428 thyself in ashesH665: makeH6213 thee mourningH60, as for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, mostH8563 bitterH8563 lamentationH4553; for the spoiler shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 uponH5921 usH5921. 27I have madeH5414 thee a tower and a fortressH4013 among my peopleH5971; that thou mayest knowH3045 and tryH974 their wayH1870. 28They are allH3605 grievous revolters, goingH1980 aboutH1980 with slanders; they are brassH5178 and ironH1270: they allH3605 of them deal corruptlyH7843. 29The bellowsH4647 blowH2787 fiercelyH2787; the leadH5777 is consumed of the fireH800: in vainH7723 do they go on refiningH6884; for the wickedH7451 are notH3808 plucked awayH5423. 30Refuse silverH3701 shall menH7121 callH7121 them, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 them.
