Jeremiah 50:42-44
Complete Jewish Bible
42 They are armed with bow and spear;
they are cruel, without compassion;
their sound is like the roaring sea,
as they ride forth on horses.
Their men take their battle positions
against you, daughter of Bavel.
43 The king of Bavel has heard news of them;
his hands droop, helpless.
Anguish seizes hold of him
and pain, like a woman in labor.
44 “It will be like a lion coming up from the thickets
of the Yarden against a strong settlement;
in an instant I will chase him away
and appoint over it whomever I choose.
For who is like me? Who can call me to account?
What shepherd can stand up to me?”
Jeremiah 50:42-44
New International Version
42 They are armed with bows(A) and spears;
they are cruel(B) and without mercy.(C)
They sound like the roaring sea(D)
as they ride on their horses;
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Babylon.(E)
43 The king of Babylon has heard reports about them,
and his hands hang limp.(F)
Anguish has gripped him,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(G)
44 Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets(H)
to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen(I) one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?(J)
And what shepherd can stand against me?”
