Jeremiah 50:41 - 50:46

« Jer 49 | Jer 50 | Jer 51 »

“Behold, a people is coming from the north,

And a great nation and many kings

Will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.

They seize their bow and javelin;

They are cruel and have no compassion.

Their voice roars like the sea;

And they ride on horses,

Arranged like a man for the battle

Against you, O daughter of Babylon.

The king of Babylon has heard the report about them,

And his hands hang limp;

Distress has taken hold of him,

Agony like a woman in childbirth.

44 “Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thicket of the Jordan to an enduring pasture; for in an instant I will make them run away from it, and whoever is chosen I will appoint over it. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can stand before Me?” 45 Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh which He has counseled against Babylon, and His purposes which He has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their pasture desolate because of them. 46 At the sound, “Babylon has been seized!” the earth is shaken, and an outcry is heard among the nations.
