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.

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, nor can you understand what they say.

For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth, to seize dwellings not their own.They are dreaded and fearsome; their justice and dignity go forth from themselves.Their horses are swifter than leopards, more fierce than the evening wolves; their horsemen press proudly on. Their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle swift to devour.They all come for violence, all their faces forward. They gather captives like sand.

but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.”

Raise a standard toward Zion, flee for safety, stay not, for I bring disaster from the north, and great destruction.
