Jeremiah 6:22-24

New King James Version

“Behold, a people comes from the ^(A)north country,
And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.
²³ They will lay hold on bow and spear;
They are cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice ^(B)roars like the sea;
And they ride on horses,
As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.”

²⁴ We have heard the report of it;
Our hands grow feeble.
^(C)Anguish has taken hold of us,
Pain as of a woman in ^[a]labor.
