Jeremiah 50:42-44

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴²     Its soldiers carry bows and spears as their weapons.
    They are always cruel and they are never kind.
    They ride into the battle on their horses,
    and it sounds like the noise of the sea.
    They are ready to attack you, people of Babylon!
⁴³     The king of Babylon has heard news about them,
    and he is very afraid.
    He feels too weak to fight.
    He feels pain like a woman who is giving birth.
⁴⁴ I will attack the people of Babylonia,
    and I will chase them out of their land.
    I will do that like a lion that has been hiding in the forest.
    It attacks the sheep in the fields beside the Jordan River.
    Like that lion, I will suddenly chase Babylonia's people out of their country.
    Then I will choose a leader to rule that nation.
    There is nobody who is like me.
    Nobody can accuse me of anything.
    No ruler can stand against me.
