Jeremiah 6:25-27

International Standard Version

²⁵ Don’t go out into the field,
    and don’t travel on the road,
because the enemy has a sword,
    and terror is on every side.
²⁶ Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
    and roll in ashes.
Mourn with bitter wailing,
    as one mourns at the death of^[a] an only son.
For the destroyer will come on us suddenly.

²⁷ “I’ve made you an assayer^[b] of my people,
    as well as^[c] a fortress.
You know how
    to test their way.”
