Jeremiah 50:41-43

International Children’s Bible

⁴¹ “Look! An army is coming from the north.
    It comes from a powerful nation.
    Many kings are coming together from all around the world.
⁴² Their armies have bows and spears.
    The soldiers are cruel and have no mercy.
The soldiers come riding on their horses.
    And the sound is loud like the roaring sea.
They stand in their places, ready for battle.
    They are ready to attack you, city of Babylon.
⁴³ The king of Babylon heard about those armies.
    And he became helpless because of his fear.
His fear is like pain.
    It is like the pain of a woman having a baby.
