Jeremiah 6:27 YLT

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.

²⁷  A watch-tower I have given thee, Among My people a fortress, And thou knowest, and hast tried their way.

²⁸  All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking slanderously -- brass and iron, All of them are corrupters.

²⁹  The bellows have been burnt, By fire hath the lead been consumed, In vain hath a refiner refined, And the wicked have not been drawn away.
