Jeremiah 6:24 ASV

²²  Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

²³  They lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and they ride upon horses, every one set in array, as a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Zion.

²⁴  We have heard the report thereof; our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, 'and' pangs as of a woman in travail.

²⁵  Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy, 'and' terror, are on every side.

²⁶  O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation; for the destroyer shall suddenly come upon us.
