Jeremiah 6:22-24
Christian Standard Bible
A Cruel Nation from the North
22 This is what the Lord says:
Look,(A) an army is coming from a northern land;(B)
a great nation will be stirred up
from the remote regions of the earth.(C)
23 They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.(D)
Their voice roars like the sea,(E)
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Zion.
24 We have heard about it,
and our hands have become weak.
Distress has seized us—
pain, like a woman in labor.(F)
Jeremiah 49:24
Christian Standard Bible
24 Damascus has become weak;
she has turned to run;
panic has gripped her.
Distress and labor pains have seized her
like a woman in labor.(A)
