A Cruel Nation From The North

24 'We have heard its sound, feeble have been our hands, Distress hath seized us, pain as of a travailing woman. 25 Go not forth to the field, And in the way walk not, For a sword hath the enemy, fear is round about. 26 O daughter of My people, Gird on sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes, The mourning of an only one make for thee, A lamentation most bitter, For suddenly come doth the spoiler against us.
