Jeremiah 5:15-17
English Standard Version
15 (A)Behold, I am bringing against you
a nation from afar, O house of Israel,
declares the Lord.
It is an enduring nation;
it is an ancient nation,
a nation whose language you do not know,
(B)nor can you understand what they say.
16 (C)Their quiver is like (D)an open tomb;
they are all mighty warriors.
17 (E)They shall eat up your harvest and your food;
they shall eat up your sons and your daughters;
they shall eat up your flocks and your herds;
they shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
your (F)fortified cities in which you trust
they shall beat down with the sword.”
Jeremiah 5:15-17
New International Version
15 People of Israel,” declares the Lord,
“I am bringing a distant nation(A) against you—
an ancient and enduring nation,
a people whose language(B) you do not know,
whose speech you do not understand.
16 Their quivers(C) are like an open grave;
all of them are mighty warriors.
17 They will devour(D) your harvests and food,
devour(E) your sons and daughters;
they will devour(F) your flocks and herds,
devour your vines and fig trees.(G)
With the sword(H) they will destroy
the fortified cities(I) in which you trust.(J)
Jeremiah 6:22-23
English Standard Version
22 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“Behold, a people is coming (B)from the north country,
a great nation is stirring from (C)the farthest parts of the earth.
23 They lay hold on bow and javelin;
they are (D)cruel and have no mercy;
(E)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!”
Jeremiah 6:22-23
New International Version
22 This is what the Lord says:
“Look, an army is coming
from the land of the north;(A)
a great nation is being stirred up
from the ends of the earth.(B)
23 They are armed with bow and spear;
they are cruel and show no mercy.(C)
They sound like the roaring sea(D)
as they ride on their horses;(E)
they come like men in battle formation
to attack you, Daughter Zion.(F)”
Isaiah 5:26-30
English Standard Version
26 He will (A)raise a signal for nations far away,
and (B)whistle for them (C)from the ends of the earth;
and behold, quickly, speedily they come!
27 (D)None is weary, none stumbles,
none slumbers or sleeps,
not a waistband is loose,
not a sandal strap broken;
28 (E)their arrows are sharp,
all their bows bent,
their horses' hoofs seem like flint,
and their wheels (F)like the whirlwind.
29 Their roaring is like a lion,
like young lions they roar;
they growl and (G)seize their prey;
they carry it off, and none can rescue.
30 They will growl over it on that day,
like the growling of the sea.
And if one looks to the land,
behold, (H)darkness and distress;
and the light is darkened by its clouds.
Isaiah 5:26-30
New International Version
26 He lifts up a banner(A) for the distant nations,
he whistles(B) for those at the ends of the earth.(C)
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired(D) or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(E) is loosened at the waist,(F)
not a sandal strap is broken.(G)
28 Their arrows are sharp,(H)
all their bows(I) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(J) seem like flint,
their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(K)
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,(L)
they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize(M) their prey
and carry it off with no one to rescue.(N)
30 In that day(O) they will roar over it
like the roaring of the sea.(P)
And if one looks at the land,
there is only darkness(Q) and distress;(R)
even the sun will be darkened(S) by clouds.
