I HAVE SET THEE FOR A TOWER AND A FORTRESS AMONG MY PEOPLE THAT THOU MAYEST KNOW AND TRY THEIR WAY

 JEREMIAH 6:25-30
 
GO NOT FORTH INTO THE FIELD,
NOR WALK BY THE WAY
FOR
THE SWORD OF THE ENEMY
AND
FEAR IS ON EVERY SIDE.
O DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE, 
GIRD THEE WITH SACKCLOTH, 
AND WALLOW THYSELF IN ASHES: 
MAKE THEE MOURNING, 
AS FOR AN ONLY SON, 
MOST BITTER LAMENTATION: 
FOR 
THE SPOILER SHALL 
SUDDENLY COME UPON US. 
I HAVE SET THEE 
FOR A TOWER AND 
A FORTRESS AMONG MY PEOPLE, 
THAT THOU MAYEST KNOW 
AND TRY THEIR WAY.
THEY ARE ALL GRIEVOUS REVOLTERS,
 WALKING WITH SLANDERS:
THEY ARE BRASS AND IRON;
THEY ARE ALL CORRUPTERS.
THE BELLOWS ARE BURNED,
THE LEAD IS CONSUMED OF THE FIRE;
THE FOUNDER MELTETH IN VAIN:
FOR
THE WICKED ARE NOT PLUCKED AWAY.
 REPROBATE SILVER SHALL
MEN CALL THEM,
BECAUSE
THE LORD HATH REJECTED THEM.
 
LOVE
