Jeremiah 50:42-44

Tree of Life Version

⁴² They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel, with no compassion.
Their voice roars like the sea,
as they ride on horses,
arranged as warriors for battle,
against you, daughter of Babylon.
⁴³ Babylon’s king heard news of them.
His hands droop;
anguish grabs him,
agony like a woman in labor.
⁴⁴ Look, it is like a lion coming up from the thickets of the Jordan
to a secure pasture—
for abruptly I will make him run away from it.
I appoint over it whomever I choose.
For who is like Me?
Who will summon Me to court?
What shepherd stands up to Me?”
