Jeremiah 50:41-43

Modern English Version

⁴¹ Look! A people shall come from the north
    and a great nation, and many kings
    will be raised up from the remote parts of the earth.
⁴² They will hold the bow and the lance;
    they are cruel and will not show mercy.
Their voice shall roar like the sea;
    and they shall ride on horses,
everyone put in array, like a man to the battle,
    against you, O daughter of Babylon.
⁴³ The king of Babylon has heard the report of them,
    and his hands waxed feeble.
Anguish took hold of him,
    and pangs as of a woman in labor.
