Jeremiah 6:21-23

New Century Version

“I will put problems in front of Judah.
    Fathers and sons will stumble over them together.
    Neighbors and friends will die.”

“Look, an army is coming
    from the land of the north;
a great nation is coming
    from the far sides of the earth.
²³ The soldiers carry bows and spears.
    They are cruel and show no mercy.
They sound like the roaring ocean
    when they ride their horses.
That army is coming lined up for battle,
    ready to attack you, Jerusalem.”
