24
"We have heard news of them, our hands fall helpless; anguish has taken hold of us, pain as of a woman in labor.
25
Do not go out into the field, or walk on the road; for the enemy has a sword, terror is on every side."
26
O my poor people, put on sackcloth, and roll in ashes; make mourning as for an only child, most bitter lamentation: for suddenly the destroyer will come upon us.
