This is what the Lord says:“ Look, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth.

The Lord says to Jerusalem,“ Look! An army is coming from the land of the north. I am stirring up a great nation. Its army is coming from a land that is very far away.

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.

This is what the LORD says: Look, an army is coming from a northern land; a great nation will be stirred up from the remote regions of the earth.

This is what the Lord says:“ Behold, there is a people coming from the north land, And a great nation will be stirred up from the remote parts of the earth.

Thus says the Lord:“ Behold, a people comes from the north country, And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.

Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, a people cometh from the north country; and a great nation shall be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

This is what the Lord says: Look, an army is coming from a northern land; a great nation will be awakened from the remote regions of the earth.

Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.

“ This is what the LORD says:‘ Beware! An army is coming from a land in the north. A mighty nation is stirring into action in faraway parts of the earth.

Yahweh says,“ Behold, a people comes from the north country. A great nation will be stirred up from the uttermost parts of the earth.

“ Look! A great army is coming from the north. A great nation and many kings are rising against you from far off lands.They are armed with bows and spears. They are cruel and show no mercy. As they ride forward on horses, they sound like a roaring sea. They are coming in battle formation, planning to destroy you, Babylon.The king of Babylon has heard reports about the enemy, and he is weak with fright. Pangs of anguish have gripped him, like those of a woman in labor.

Listen! Hear the terrifying roar of great armies as they roll down from the north. The towns of Judah will be destroyed and become a haunt for jackals.

“ Run for your lives, you people of Benjamin! Get out of Jerusalem! Sound the alarm in Tekoa! Send up a signal at Beth hakkerem! A powerful army is coming from the north, coming with disaster and destruction.

“ Yes,” the Lord said,“ for terror from the north will boil out on the people of this land.Listen! I am calling the armies of the kingdoms of the north to come to Jerusalem. I, the Lord, have spoken!“ They will set their thrones at the gates of the city. They will attack its walls and all the other towns of Judah.

O Israel, I will bring a distant nation against you,” says the Lord.“ It is a mighty nation, an ancient nation, a people whose language you do not know, whose speech you cannot understand.

I will gather together all the armies of the north under King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, whom I have appointed as my deputy. I will bring them all against this land and its people and against the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy you and make you an object of horror and contempt and a ruin forever.
