A Cruel Nation From The North

24 We have heard about it,
and we are discouraged.
Distress has seized us—
pain like a woman in labor.
25 Don’t go out to the fields;
don’t walk on the road.
For the enemy has a sword;
terror is on every side.

and roll in the dust.
Mourn as you would for an only son,
a bitter lament,
for suddenly the destroyer will come on us.
