Jeremiah 6:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² Thus saith the Lord: Behold a people cometh from the land of the north, and a great nation shall rise up from the ends of the earth.

²³ They shall lay hold on arrow and shield: they are cruel, and will have no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea: and they shall mount upon horses, prepared as men for war, against thee, O daughter of Sion.

²⁴ We have heard the fame thereof, our hands grow feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, as a woman in labor.
