Jeremiah 50:41-46
New King James Version
Jeremiah 50:41-46
New King James Version
41 “Behold,(A) a people shall come from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Shall be raised up from the ends of the earth.
42 (B)They shall hold the bow and the lance;
(C)They are cruel and shall not show mercy.
(D)Their voice shall roar like the sea;
They shall ride on horses,
Set in array, like a man for the battle,
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 “The king of Babylon has (E)heard the report about them,
And his hands grow feeble;
Anguish has taken hold of him,
Pangs as of a woman in (F)childbirth.
44 “Behold,(G) he shall come up like a lion from the [a]floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place of the strong;
But I will make them suddenly run away from her.
And who is a chosen man that I may appoint over her?
For who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And (H)who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”
45 Therefore hear (I)the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Babylon,
And His (J)purposes that He has proposed against the land of the Chaldeans:
(K)Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out;
Surely He will make their dwelling place desolate with them.
46 (L)At the noise of the taking of Babylon
The earth trembles,
And the cry is heard among the nations.

Jeremiah 50:41-46
New International Version
Jeremiah 50:41-46
New International Version
41 “Look! An army is coming from the north;(A)
a great nation and many kings
are being stirred(B) up from the ends of the earth.(C)
42 They are armed with bows(D) and spears;
they are cruel(E) and without mercy.(F)
They sound like the roaring sea(G)
as they ride on their horses;
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Babylon.(H)
43 The king of Babylon has heard reports about them,
and his hands hang limp.(I)
Anguish has gripped him,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(J)
44 Like a lion coming up from Jordan’s thickets(K)
to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen(L) one I will appoint for this?
Who is like me and who can challenge me?(M)
And what shepherd can stand against me?”
45 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Babylon,
what he has purposed(N) against the land of the Babylonians:(O)
The young of the flock will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.
46 At the sound of Babylon’s capture the earth will tremble;(P)
its cry(Q) will resound among the nations.
