‏ Jeremiah 6:22-24

v. 22: God will use a powerful and distant nation as His tool for punishment. The army will come from the north, full of skilled and cruel warriors .

v. 23: This army will use bows, spears, and horses. They will be fierce and show no mercy, roaring like the sea. Their goal is to attack Jerusalem and take away its riches. The sins of God’s people have made them easy prey for their enemies .

v. 24: When the people hear about this enemy, they will be terrified. Their hands will be weak, and they will feel pain like a woman in labor. Guilt and fear will make them helpless .
