Jeremiah 6:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

²³Its people take hold of bows and spears.
They are cruel and have no compassion.
They sound like the roaring sea.
They ride on horses.
They march like soldiers ready for battle
against my people Zion.

²⁴We have heard the news about them.
Our hands hang limp.
We are gripped by anguish and pain
like a woman giving birth to a child.
²⁵Don’t go into the field or walk on the road.
The enemy has a sword.
Terror is all around.
