Jeremiah 6:22-25
The Message
22-23 And listen to this verdict from God:
“Look out! An invasion from the north,
a mighty power on the move from a faraway place:
Armed to the teeth,
vicious and pitiless,
Booming like sea storm and thunder—tramp, tramp, tramp—
riding hard on war horses,
In battle formation
against you, dear Daughter Zion!”
24-25 We’ve heard the news,
and we’re as limp as wet dishrags.
We’re paralyzed with fear.
Terror has a death grip on our throats.
Don’t dare go outdoors!
Don’t leave the house!
Death is on the prowl.
Danger everywhere!
Jeremiah 6:22-24
New International Version
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Look, an army is coming
from the land of the north;(A)
a great nation is being stirred up
from the ends of the earth.(B)
23 They are armed with bow and spear;
they are cruel and show no mercy.(C)
They sound like the roaring sea(D)
as they ride on their horses;(E)
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Zion.(F)”
