Jeremiah 50:42-44
Revised Standard Version
42 They lay hold of bow and spear;
they are cruel, and have no mercy.
The sound of them is like the roaring of the sea;
they ride upon horses,
arrayed as a man for battle
against you, O daughter of Babylon!
43 “The king of Babylon heard the report of them,
and his hands fell helpless;
anguish seized him,
pain as of a woman in travail.
44 “Behold, like a lion coming up from the jungle of the Jordan against a strong sheepfold, I will suddenly make them run away from her; and I will appoint over her whomever I choose. For who is like me? Who will summon me? What shepherd can 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?”
