‘I will send troubles to make these people fall down.
Fathers and their children will all fall to the ground.
Their friends and their neighbours will die.’

‘Look! An army is coming from the north.
    A great nation is preparing to attack you
    from a place that is far away.
23 Its soldiers carry bows and spears as their weapons.

    and it sounds like the noise of the sea.
They are ready to attack you,
    people of Jerusalem.’
