Jeremiah 6:21-23

GOD’S WORD Translation

I’m going to lay stumbling blocks in front of these people.
Parents and children will stumble over them.
Neighbors and their friends will die.

An army is going to come from the north.
A great nation is preparing itself in the distant parts of the earth.
²³ Its people take hold of bows and spears.
They are cruel and have no compassion.
They sound like the roaring sea.
They ride on horses.
They march like soldiers ready for battle
against my people Zion.
