Jeremiah 6:24
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
We have heard the report; our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labor.
In context
22 This is what the LORD says: “Behold, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is stirred up from the ends of the earth.
23 They grasp the bow and spear; they are cruel and merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of Zion.”
24 We have heard the report; our hands hang limp. Anguish has gripped us, pain like that of a woman in labor.
25 Do not go out to the fields; do not walk the road. For the enemy has a sword; terror is on every side.
26 O daughter of my people, dress yourselves in sackcloth and roll in ashes. Mourn with bitter wailing, as you would for an only son, for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
