41 “Behold, a people is coming afrom the north,
And a great nation and many kings
Will be aroused from the remote parts of the earth.
42 They aseize their bow and javelin;
They are bcruel and have no compassion.
Their cvoice roars like the sea;
And they ride on dhorses,
eArranged like a man for the battle
Against you, O daughter of Babylon.
43 The aking of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands hang limp;
bDistress has taken hold of him,
Agony like a woman in childbirth.
