Jeremiah 6:22-26

22Thus says Adonai: “Look, a people coming from a northern land, a great nation roused from the ends of the earth!

23They are armed with bow and spear, cruel and with no compassion. They sound like the roaring sea— as they ride on horses as men in battle formation, against you, Daughter of Zion!”

24“We have heard of their fame. Our hands hang limp; anguish has gripped us, pain like a woman in labor.

25Don’t go out into the field or walk on the road. Since the enemy has a sword, there’s terror on every side!”

26“Daughter of My people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes. Mourn as for an only son with bitter lamentation.” “For suddenly the destroyer will come on us!”
