Jeremiah 50:41-46

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴¹ Look! A people comes from the north!
A great nation and many kings are being stirred up
    from the ends of the earth.
⁴² They take up bow and spear.
They are cruel and merciless.
Their roar sounds like the sea.
They ride on horses,
arrayed in battle formation against you, daughter of Babylon.
⁴³ The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
and his hands hang limp.
Anguish grips him,
pains like a woman in labor.
⁴⁴ Watch this!
Like a lion coming out of the thickets of the Jordan
    into the pastures that are always green,
I will suddenly chase Babylon away from its land,
and I will appoint whomever I choose over it.
For who is like me?
Who can challenge me?
    What shepherd can stand before me?

⁴⁵ Therefore hear what the Lord has planned for Babylon,
and what he intends to do against the land of the Chaldeans:
Even the little ones of the flock will be dragged away.
He will make their pasture desolate because of them.
⁴⁶ The earth will tremble at the noise of Babylon’s fall.
Their cry will be heard among the nations.
