Jeremiah 6:21-23
Revised Standard Version
21 Therefore thus says the Lord:
‘Behold, I will lay before this people
stumbling blocks against which they shall stumble;
fathers and sons together,
neighbor and friend shall perish.’”
22 Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, a people is coming from the north country,
a great nation is stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.
23 They lay hold on bow and spear,
they are cruel and have no mercy,
the sound of them is like the roaring sea;
they ride upon horses,
set in array as a man for battle,
against you, O daughter of Zion!”

21 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“I will put obstacles before this people.
Parents and children alike will stumble(A) over them;
neighbors and friends will perish.”
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Look, an army is coming
from the land of the north;(B)
a great nation is being stirred up
from the ends of the earth.(C)
23 They are armed with bow and spear;
they are cruel and show no mercy.(D)
They sound like the roaring sea(E)
as they ride on their horses;(F)
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Zion.(G)”
