Jeremiah 6:22-24

Complete Jewish Bible

“A people is coming from the land of the north,
a great nation will be aroused from the ends of the earth.
²³ They will take hold of bow and spear;
they are cruel; they have no compassion:
their noise as they ride on horses
is like the roaring sea;
and they are equipped for battle
against you, daughter of Tziyon.
²⁴ ‘We have heard the news,
and our hands fall limp;
anguish has seized us,
pain like a mother’s in childbirth.’”
