Jeremiah 6:22-26
English Standard Version
22 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Behold, a people is coming (B)from the north country,
a great nation is stirring from (C)the farthest parts of the earth.
23 They lay hold on bow and javelin;
they are (D)cruel and have no mercy;
(E)the sound of them is like the roaring sea;
they ride on horses,
set in array as a man for battle,
against you, O daughter of Zion!”
24 We have heard the report of it;
(F)our hands fall helpless;
anguish has taken hold of us,
(G)pain as of a woman in labor.
25 Go not out into the field,
nor walk on the road,
for the enemy has a sword;
(H)terror is on every side.
26 O daughter of my people, (I)put on sackcloth,
and (J)roll in ashes;
(K)make mourning as for an only son,
most bitter lamentation,
for suddenly the destroyer
will come upon us.
Jeremiah 6:22-26
International Standard Version
The Invaders from the North
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Look, people are coming from a northern country.
A great nation is stirring from the ends of the earth.
23 They grab bow and spear;
they’re cruel and show no mercy.
Their sound roars like the sea
as they ride on horses,
deployed like men ready for battle
against you, daughter of Zion.”
24 We have heard the news about it,
and our hands are limp.
Distress has seized us
like a woman in labor.
25 Don’t go out into the field,
and don’t travel on the road,
because the enemy has a sword,
and terror is on every side.
26 Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth
and roll in ashes.
Mourn with bitter wailing,
as one mourns at the death of[a] an only son.
For the destroyer will come on us suddenly.
