Jeremiah 6:22-26 - A Cruel Nation 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 an only son. For the destroyer will come on us suddenly.
