Jeremiah 6:22-24

New Living Translation

²² This is what the Lord says:
“Look! A great army coming from the north!
    A great nation is rising against you from far-off lands.
²³ They are armed with bows and spears.
    They are cruel and show no mercy.
They sound like a roaring sea
    as they ride forward on horses.
They are coming in battle formation,
    planning to destroy you, beautiful Jerusalem.^[a]”
