Jeremiah 50:41-43

New Catholic Bible

⁴¹ Look! A people is coming from the north,
    a mighty nation.
Many kings are rousing themselves
    from the ends of the earth.
⁴² They wield bows and spears,
    and their cruelty allows no mercy.
As they ride forth on their horses,
    their sound resembles that of the roaring sea.
All of them are arrayed for battle
    to fight against you, daughter of Babylon.
⁴³ News of their approach has reached the king of Babylon,
    and his hands fall limp at his side.
Anguish has seized him,
    pangs like those of a woman in labor.
