Jeremiah 6:21-23

New International Reader's Version

“I will bring an army against the people of Judah.
    Parents and children alike will trip and fall.
    Neighbors and friends will die.”

“Look! An army is coming
    from the land of the north.
I am stirring up a great nation.
    Its army is coming from a land that is very far away.
²³ Its soldiers are armed with bows and spears.
    They are mean. They do not show any mercy at all.
They come riding in on their horses.
    They sound like the roaring ocean.
They are lined up for battle.
    They are marching out
    to attack you, city of Zion.”
