Jeremiah 6:22-30

22Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, a peopleH5971 comethH935 from the northH6828 countryH776, and a greatH1419 nationH1471 shall be raisedH5782 from the sidesH3411 of the earthH776. 23They shall lay holdH2388 on bowH7198 and spearH3591; they are cruelH394, and have no mercyH7355; their voiceH6963 roarethH1993 like the seaH3220; and they rideH7392 upon horsesH5483, set in arrayH6186 as menH376 for warH4421 against thee, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726. 24We have heardH8085 the reportH8089 of it: our handsH3027 become feebleH7503: anguishH6869 hath taken holdH2388 of us, and painH2427, as of a woman in travailH3205. 25Go not forthH3318 into the fieldH7704, nor walkH3212 by the wayH1870; for the swordH2719 of the enemyH341 and fearH4032 is on every sideH5439. 26O daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971, girdH2296 thee with sackclothH8242, and wallowH6428 thyself in ashesH665: makeH6213 thee mourningH60, as for an only sonH3173, most bitterH8563 lamentationH4553: for the spoilerH7703 shall suddenlyH6597 comeH935 upon us. 27I have setH5414 thee for a towerH969 and a fortressH4013 among my peopleH5971, that thou mayest knowH3045 and tryH974 their wayH1870. 28They are all grievousH5493 revoltersH5637, walkingH1980 with slandersH7400: they are brassH5178 and ironH1270; they are all corruptersH7843. 29The bellowsH4647 are burnedH2787, the leadH5777 is consumedH8552 by the fireH800H784; the founderH6884 meltethH6884 in vainH7723: for the wickedH7451 are not plucked awayH5423. 30RejectedH3988 silverH3701 shall men callH7121 them, because the LORDH3068 hath rejectedH3988 them.1
