The Coming Destruction of Jerusalem
22¶This is what the Lord says: “Behold, there is a people coming from the north land, And a great nation will be stirred up from the remote parts of the earth.
23“They seize bow and spear; They are cruel and have no mercy; Their voice roars like the sea, And they ride on horses, Lined up as a man for the battle Against you, daughter of Zion!”
24We have heard the report of it; Our hands are limp. Anguish has seized us, Pain like that of a woman in childbirth.
Jeremiah 6:22-24 (NASB)
