Jeremiah 50:42 in context
- 40As when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh,
“so no man will dwell there,
neither will any son of man live therein. - 41“Behold, a people comes from the north;
and a great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth. - 42They take up bow and spear.
They are cruel, and have no mercy.
Their voice roars like the sea.
They ride on horses,
everyone set in array,
as a man to the battle,
against you, daughter of Babylon. - 43The king of Babylon has heard the news of them,
and his hands become feeble:
anguish has taken hold of him,
pains as of a woman in labor. - 44Behold, the enemy will come up like a lion
from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation;
for I will suddenly make them run away from it.
Whoever is chosen,
I will appoint him over it;
for who is like me?
Who will appoint me a time?
Who is the shepherd who can stand before me?”
