Jeremiah 6:23-25

Young's Literal Translation

²³ Bow and javelin they take hold of, Fierce it [is], and they have no mercy, Their voice as a sea doth sound, And on horses they ride, set in array as a man of war, Against thee, O daughter of Zion.

²⁴ `We have heard its sound, feeble have been our hands, Distress hath seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.

²⁵ Go not forth to the field, And in the way walk not, For a sword hath the enemy, fear [is] round about.
