41Behold, a people is coming from the north, and a great nation and many kings will be stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth.

42They seize bow and javelin; they are cruel and will show no mercy. Their sound roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, arrayed like a man for battle against you, daughter Babylon.

43The king of Babylon has heard the report about them, and his hands have gone limp; distress has seized him, anguish like a woman in labor.
