Jeremiah 6:26

A Cruel Nation From The North

²⁵ Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for there is the sword of the enemy, terror is on every side. ²⁶ Daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes: make mourning, as for an only son bitter lamentation; for the spoiler cometh suddenly upon us. ²⁷ I have set thee among my people as an assayer, a fortress, that thou mayest know and try their way.

Beloved Son

My People

Put on

Only Son
