Jeremiah 6:23
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 Zion.”
Context
21Therefore this is what the LORD says:
“I will lay stumbling blocks before this people;
fathers and sons alike will be staggered;
friends and neighbors will perish.” 22This is what the LORD says:
“Behold, an army is coming
from the land of the north;
a great nation is stirred up
from the ends of the earth. 23They 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 Zion.” 24We have heard the report;
our hands hang limp.
Anguish has gripped us,
pain like that of a woman in labor. 25Do not go out to the fields;
do not walk the road.
For the enemy has a sword;
terror is on every side.
