Jeremiah 6:21

An Invasion From The North

²⁰ To what purpose does sweet perfume come to me from Sheba, and spices from a far country? your burned offerings give me no pleasure, your offerings of beasts are not pleasing to me. ²¹ For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will put stones in the way of this people: and the fathers and the sons together will go falling over them; the neighbour and his friend will come to destruction. ²² The Lord has said, See, a people is coming from the north country, a great nation will be put in motion from the inmost parts of the earth.
