Jeremiah 50:42-44

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴² They take up bow and spear.
They are cruel and merciless.
Their roar sounds like the sea.
They ride on horses,
arrayed in battle formation against you, daughter of Babylon.
⁴³ The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
and his hands hang limp.
Anguish grips him,
pains like a woman in labor.
⁴⁴ Watch this!
Like a lion coming out of the thickets of the Jordan
    into the pastures that are always green,
I will suddenly chase Babylon away from its land,
and I will appoint whomever I choose over it.
For who is like me?
Who can challenge me?
    What shepherd can stand before me?
