Jeremiah 6:21-23

New International Version - UK

‘I will put obstacles before this people.
    Parents and children alike will stumble over them;
    neighbours and friends will perish.’

‘Look, an army is coming
    from the land of the north;
a great nation is being stirred up
    from the ends of the earth.
²³ They are armed with bow and spear;
    they are cruel and show no mercy.
They sound like the roaring sea
    as they ride on their horses;
they come like men in battle formation
    to attack you, Daughter Zion.’
