Jeremiah 50:41-43

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴¹ “Look! There are people coming from the north.
    They come from a powerful nation.
    Many kings are coming together from all around the world.
⁴² Their armies have bows and spears.
    The soldiers are cruel.
    They have no mercy.
The soldiers come riding on their horses;
    the sound is as loud as the roaring sea.
They stand in their places, ready for battle.
    They are ready to attack you, city of Babylon.
⁴³ The king of Babylon heard about those armies,
    and he is paralyzed with fear.
He is overcome with fear and pain,
    like a woman giving birth.
