Jeremiah 50:42-44
Holman Christian Standard Bible
42 They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea,(A)
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Babylon.
43 The king of Babylon has heard reports about them,
and his hands fall helpless.
Distress has seized him—
pain, like a woman in labor.(B)
44 “Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets[a](C) of the Jordan to the watered grazing land. Indeed, I will chase Babylon[b] away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like Me? Who will summon Me? Who is the shepherd who can stand against Me?”
