21 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
I am going to place stumbling blocks before these people;

22 This is what the Lord says:

Look,(B) an army is coming from a northern land;(C)
a great nation will be stirred up
from the remote regions of the earth.(D)

lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Zion.
