Jeremiah 50:42-44

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴² They will take hold of bows and spears.
They will be cruel and have no compassion.
They will sound like the sea when it roars.
They will ride horses.
They are ready for war, ready to attack you, people of Babylon.
⁴³ The king of Babylon has heard reports about them, and he loses courage.
Anguish will grip him as pain grips a woman in labor.
⁴⁴ I will suddenly chase them from their places
like a lion coming out of the jungle
along the Jordan River into pastureland.
I will appoint over Babylon whomever I choose.
Who is like me? Who can challenge me?
Is there any leader who can stand up to me?
