Jeremiah 50:41-43

The Voice

⁴¹ Eternal One: Look in the distance and you will see an army
        marching toward you out of the north.
    A nation of many kings whose size and might you can’t imagine
        is now awakening and coming from the remote parts of the earth.
⁴²     They are armed with bows and spears;
        their hearts are cruel and will show you no mercy.
    The sound of their massive army, riding in on their horses,
        is like the sound of an angry sea;
    They are ready for battle, marching in formation,
        coming to destroy you, O daughter of Babylon.
⁴³     The king of Babylon has received the news about them,
        and his hands fall to his side, weak and helpless—
    Distress has gripped him so,
        like a woman in the agony of giving birth.
