Jeremiah 6:21-23

Modern English Version

See, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people,
    and the fathers and the sons together will fall upon them.
    The neighbor and his friend will perish.

See, a people comes
    from the north country,
and a great nation will be raised
    from the remote parts of the earth.
²³ They will lay hold on bow and spear;
    they are cruel and have no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea,
    and they ride upon horses,
set in array as men for war
    against you, O daughter of Zion.
