²² This is what the Lord says:
“Behold, there is ^(A)a people coming from the north land,
And a great nation will be stirred up from the ^(B)remote parts of the earth.
²³ They seize ^(C)bow and spear;
They are ^(D)cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice ^(E)roars like the sea,
And they ride on horses,
Lined up as a man for the battle
Against you, daughter of Zion!”
