Jeremiah 6:21-23

English Standard Version Anglicised

²¹ Therefore thus says the Lord:
^(A)‘Behold, I will lay before this people
    stumbling blocks against which they shall stumble;
fathers and sons together,
    neighbour and friend shall perish.’”
²² Thus says the Lord:
^(B)“Behold, a people is coming ^(C)from the north country,
    a great nation is stirring from ^(D)the farthest parts of the earth.
²³ They lay hold on bow and javelin;
    they are ^(E)cruel and have no mercy;
    ^(F)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!”
