Jeremiah 50:42-44
New Living Translation
Jeremiah 50:42-44
New Living Translation
42 They are armed with bows and spears.
They are cruel and show no mercy.
As they ride forward on horses,
they sound like a roaring sea.
They are coming in battle formation,
planning to destroy you, Babylon.
43 The king of Babylon has heard reports about the enemy,
and he is weak with fright.
Pangs of anguish have gripped him,
like those of a woman in labor.
44 “I will come like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan,
leaping on the sheep in the pasture.
I will chase Babylon from its land,
and I will appoint the leader of my choice.
For who is like me, and who can challenge me?
What ruler can oppose my will?”

42 They are armed with bows(A) and spears;
they are cruel(B) and without mercy.(C)

they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Babylon.(E)

to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Babylon from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen(I) one I will appoint for this?

And what shepherd can stand against me?”
