Jeremiah 6:21-23

Lexham English Bible

²¹ Therefore^[a] thus says Yahweh:
    “Look, I am about to put before this people stumbling blocks,
and they will stumble against them,
    fathers and children together,
    neighbor and his friend will perish.”
²² Thus says Yahweh:
“Look, a people is coming from the land of the north,
    a great nation is woken up from the farthest part of the earth.
²³ The bow and the short sword they grasp are cruel,
    and they show no mercy.
Their sound roars like the sea, and on horses they ride,
    drawn up like a man for battle against you, O daughter of Zion.”
