Jeremiah 6:24-26

24We have heard reports about them, and our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labor.

25Do not go out to the fields or walk on the roads, for the enemy has a sword, and there is terror on every side.

26Put on sackcloth, my people, and roll in ashes; mourn with bitter wailing as for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
