Jeremiah 6:25-27
New Living Translation
25 Don’t go out to the fields!
Don’t travel on the roads!
The enemy’s sword is everywhere
and terrorizes us at every turn!
26 Oh, my people, dress yourselves in burlap
and sit among the ashes.
Mourn and weep bitterly, as for the loss of an only son.
For suddenly the destroying armies will be upon you!
27 “Jeremiah, I have made you a tester of metals,[a]
that you may determine the quality of my people.
Footnotes
- 6:27 As in Greek version; Hebrew reads a tester of my people a fortress.
