Jeremiah

⁴¹“Behold, a people comes from the north;and a great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth. ⁴²They take up bow and spear.They are cruel, and have no mercy.Their voice roars like the sea.They ride on horses,everyone set in array,as a man to the battle,against you, daughter of Babylon. ⁴³The king of Babylon has heard the news of them,and his hands become feeble:anguish has taken hold of him,pains as of a woman in labor. ⁴⁴Behold, the enemy will come up like a lionfrom the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation;for I will suddenly make them run away from it.Whoever is chosen,I will appoint him over it;for who is like me?Who will appoint me a time?Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?” ⁴⁵Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord,that he has taken against Babylon;and his purposes,that he has purposed against the land of the Kasdim:Surely they will drag them away,even the little ones of the flock.Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them. ⁴⁶At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth trembles;and the cry is heard among the nations.
