Jeremiah 6:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ They shall lay hold on arrow and shield: they are cruel, and will have no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea: and they shall mount upon horses, prepared as men for war, against thee, O daughter of Sion.

²⁴ We have heard the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor.

²⁵ Go not out into the fields, nor walk in the highway: for the sword of the enemy, and fear is on every side.
