25Goe not forth into the field, nor walke by the way: for the sword of the enemie and feare is on euery side. 26¶ O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallowe thy selfe in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an onely sonne, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come vpon vs. 27I haue set thee for a towre, and a fortresse among my people: that thou mayest know and trie their way. 28They are all grieuous reuolters, walking with slanders: they are brasse and yron, they are all corrupters. 29The bellowes are burnt, the lead is consumed of the fire: the founder melteth in vaine: for the wicked are not plucked away.
