Jeremiah 6:24

A Cruel Nation From The North

²³ “They seize bow and spear;
They are cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice roars like the sea,
And they ride on horses,
Arrayed as a man for the battle
Against you, O daughter of Zion!”
²⁴ We have heard the report of it;
Our hands are limp.
Anguish has seized us,
Pain as of a woman in childbirth.
²⁵ Do not go out into the field
And do not walk on the road,
For the enemy has a sword,
Terror is on every side.

Like a Woman in Labor
