Jeremiah 6:22-26 - A Cruel Nation From The North
22 Thus said Jehovah, Behold, a people coming from the land of the north, and a great nation shall be raised up from the thighs of the earth. 23 They shall lay hold of bow and javelin; it is fierce and they will not pity; their voice will roar as the sea, and they will ride upon horses arranged as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion..
24 We heard its report: our hands were relaxed; straits held us, pain as of her bringing forth 25 Thou shalt not go forth to the field, and thou shalt not go by the way; for the sword to the enemy, fear from round about. 26 O daughter of my people, gird on sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes: make to thee the mourning of an only begotten, a wailing of bitterness; for he laying waste shall suddenly come upon us.
