Jeremiah 50:42
Berean Standard Bible
They grasp the bow and spear;* they are cruel and merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride upon horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of Babylon.
Context
40As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah
along with their neighbors,”
declares the LORD,
“no one will dwell there;
no man will abide there. 41Behold, an army is coming from the north;
a great nation and many kings are stirred up
from the ends of the earth. 42They grasp the bow and spear;*
they are cruel and merciless.
Their voice roars like the sea,
and they ride upon horses,
lined up like men in formation
against you, O Daughter of Babylon. 43The king of Babylon has heard the report,
and his hands hang limp.
Anguish has gripped him,
pain like that of a woman in labor. 44Behold, one will come up like a lion
from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture.
For in an instant I will chase Babylon from her land.
Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me?
What shepherd can stand against Me?”
