21 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
“Behold, (A)I am [a]placing stumbling blocks before this people.
And they will stumble against them,
(B)Fathers and sons together;
Neighbor and [b]friend will perish.”

The Enemy from the North

22 This is what the Lord says:
“Behold, there is (C)a people coming from the north land,
And a great nation will be stirred up from the (D)remote parts of the earth.
23 They seize (E)bow and spear;
They are (F)cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice (G)roars like the sea,
And they ride on horses,
Lined up as a man for the battle
Against you, daughter of Zion!”
