Context Readings

A Cruel Nation From The North

24 We have heard the news about it, and our hands are limp. Distress has seized us like a woman in labor. 25 Don't go out into the field, and don't travel on the road, because the enemy has a sword, and terror is on every side. 26 Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes. Mourn with bitter wailing, as one mourns at the death of an only son. For the destroyer will come on us suddenly.
