Jeremiah 6:26
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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.
In context
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.
27 “I have appointed you to examine My people like ore, so you may know and try their ways.
28 All are hardened rebels, walking around as slanderers. They are bronze and iron; all of them are corrupt.
