Jeremiah 6:22-24
King James Version
22 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.

Jeremiah 6:22-24
English Standard Version
22 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Behold, a people is coming (B)from the north country,
a great nation is stirring from (C)the farthest parts of the earth.
23 They lay hold on bow and javelin;
they are (D)cruel and have no mercy;
(E)the sound of them is like the roaring sea;
they ride on horses,
set in array as a man for battle,
against you, O daughter of Zion!”
24 We have heard the report of it;
(F)our hands fall helpless;
anguish has taken hold of us,
(G)pain as of a woman in labor.
