Jeremiah 6:24 YLT

²²  Thus said Jehovah: Lo, a people hath come from a north country, And a great nation is stirred up from the sides of the earth.

²³  Bow and javelin they take hold of, Fierce it 'is', and they have no mercy, Their voice as a sea doth sound, And on horses they ride, set in array as a man of war, Against thee, O daughter of Zion.

²⁴  'We have heard its sound, feeble have been our hands, Distress hath seized us, pain as of a travailing woman.

²⁵  Go not forth to the field, And in the way walk not, For a sword hath the enemy, fear 'is' round about.

²⁶  O daughter of My people, Gird on sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes, The mourning of an only one make for thee, A lamentation most bitter, For suddenly come doth the spoiler against us.
