Jeremiah 6:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
I am going to place stumbling blocks before these people;
fathers and sons together will stumble over them;^(A)
friends and neighbors will also perish.

A Cruel Nation from the North

²²This is what the Lord says:

Look, an army is coming from a northern land;^(B)
a great nation will be awakened
from the remote regions of the earth.^(C)
²³They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.^(D)
Their voice roars like the sea,^(E)
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Zion.
