Jeremiah 50:41-46
New American Standard Bible
41 “Behold, a people is coming (A)from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Will be roused from the remote parts of the earth.
42 They (B)seize their bow and javelin;
They are (C)cruel and have no mercy.
Their (D)voice roars like the sea;
And they ride on (E)horses,
(F)Drawn up like a man for the battle
Against you, daughter of Babylon.
43 The (G)king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands hang limp;
(H)Distress has gripped him,
Agony like a woman in childbirth.
44 “(I)Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thicket of the Jordan to a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will chase them away from it, and I will appoint over it whoever is (J)chosen. For who is (K)like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can (L)stand against Me?” 45 Therefore hear the (M)plan of the Lord which He has planned against Babylon, and His purposes which He has in mind against the land of the Chaldeans: (N)they will certainly drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; He will certainly make their pasture desolate because of them. 46 At the [a]shout, “Babylon has been conquered!” the (O)earth quakes, and an (P)outcry is heard among the nations.

New American Standard Bible 1995
41 “Behold, a people is coming (A)from the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.
42 “They (B)seize their bow and javelin;
They are (C)cruel and have no mercy.
Their (D)voice roars like the sea;
And they ride on (E)horses,
(F)Marshalled like a man for the battle
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 “The (G)king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands hang limp;
(H)Distress has gripped him,
Agony like a woman in childbirth.
44 “(I)Behold, one will come up like a lion from the [a]thicket of the Jordan to [b]a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make them run away from it, and whoever is (J)chosen I will appoint over it. For who is (K)like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can (L)stand before Me?” 45 Therefore hear the (M)plan of the Lord which He has planned against Babylon, and His purposes which He has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: (N)surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their [c]pasture desolate because of them. 46 At the [d]shout, “Babylon has been seized!” the (O)earth is shaken, and an (P)outcry is heard among the nations.
