Jeremiah 50:42-44
Legacy Standard Bible
42 They (A)seize their bow and [a]javelin;
They are (B)cruel and have no compassion.
Their (C)voice roars like the sea;
And they ride on (D)horses,
(E)Arranged like a man for the battle
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 The (F)king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands hang limp;
(G)Distress has taken hold of him,
Agony like a woman in childbirth.
44 “(H)Behold, one will come up like a lion from the [b]thicket of the Jordan to an enduring pasture; for in an instant I will make them run away from it, and whoever is (I)chosen I will appoint over it. For who is (J)like Me, and who will [c]summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can (K)stand before 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?”
