42 They shall hold the bow and the buckler: they are cruel and unmerciful: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, and be put in array like men to the battle against thee, O daughter of Babel.

43 The king of Babel hath heard the report of them, and his hands [a]waxed feeble: sorrow came upon him, even sorrow as of a woman in travail.

44 Behold, he (A)shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the strong habitation: for I will make Israel to rest, and I will make them to haste away from her: and who is a chosen man that I may appoint against her? for who is like me, and who will appoint me the time? and who is the [b]shepherd that will stand before me?
