A CRUEL NATION FROM THE NORTH
22This is what the Lord says:
Look,t an army is coming from a northern land;u
a great nation will be stirred up
from the remote regions of the earth.v
23They grasp bow and javelin.
They are cruel and show no mercy.w
Their voice roars like the sea,x
and they ride on horses,
lined up like men in battle formation
against you, Daughter Zion.

Thus says the Lord:
“Behold, a people is coming from the north country,
a great nation is stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.
They lay hold on bow and javelin;
they are cruel and have no mercy;
the sound of them is like the roaring sea;
they ride on horses,
set in array as a man for battle,
against you, O daughter of Zion!”

They are coming in battle formation,
planning to destroy you, beautiful Jerusalem.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Thus says Yahweh:
“Look, a people is coming from the land of the north,
a great nation is woken up from the farthest part of the earth.
The bow and the short sword they grasp are cruel,
and they show no mercy.
Their sound roars like the sea, and on horses they ride,
drawn up like a man for battle against you, O daughter of Zion.”
