Jeremiah 6:21-23

The Voice

²¹     And so I, the Eternal One, will place stumbling blocks on your path of rebellion.
        You will stumble indeed, fathers and sons alike.
    Neighbors and friends will be wiped out.

²²     Look in the distance, and you will see an army
        marching toward you out of the north.
    A nation whose size and might you can’t imagine
        is now awakening and coming from the remote parts of the earth.
²³     They are armed with bows and spears.
        Their hearts are cruel and will show you no mercy.
    The sound of their massive army,
        riding in on their horses, is like the sound of an angry sea;
    They are ready for battle, marching in formation,
        coming to destroy you, O Jerusalem, daughter of Zion.
