Jeremiah 50:42-44
Legacy Standard Bible
42 They (A)seize their bow and [a]javelin;
They are (B)cruel and have no compassion.
Their (C)voice roars like the sea;
And they ride on (D)horses,
(E)Arranged like a man for the battle
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 The (F)king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands hang limp;
(G)Distress has taken hold of him,
Agony like a woman in childbirth.
44 “(H)Behold, one will come up like a lion from the [b]thicket of the Jordan to an enduring pasture; for in an instant I will make them run away from it, and whoever is (I)chosen I will appoint over it. For who is (J)like Me, and who will [c]summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can (K)stand before Me?”
