Jeremiah 50:42-44

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴²They grasp bow and javelin.

Distress has seized him—

⁴⁴“Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets^[a]^(C) of the Jordan to the watered grazing land. Indeed, I will chase Babylon^[b] away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like Me? Who will summon Me? Who is the shepherd who can stand against Me?”
