Jeremiah 6:22-24

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²² Thus says the Lord: Behold, a people is coming from the north country, and a great nation is arousing itself from the ends of the earth.

²³ They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel (ruthless and inhuman) and have no mercy. Their voice sounds like the roaring sea; they ride on horses, every one set in array as a man for battle against you, O Daughter of Zion!

²⁴ We have heard the report of it; our hands become feeble and helpless. Anguish has taken hold of us, pangs like that of a woman in childbirth.
