14 Then the Lord said to me, ^a“Out of the north disaster ^{▼▼The Hebrew word can mean evil, harm, or disaster, depending on the context; so throughout Jeremiah} shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For behold, ^cI am calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, declares the Lord, ^dand they shall come, and every one shall set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah.

Jeremiah 4:6

6 ^eRaise a standard toward Zion,
flee for safety, stay not,
for I bring disaster from ^fthe north,
^gand great destruction.

Jeremiah 6:22

22 Thus says the Lord:
^h“Behold, a people is coming ⁱfrom the north country,
a great nation is stirring from ^jthe farthest parts of the earth.

Jeremiah 10:22

22 A voice, a rumor! Behold, it comes!—
^ka great commotion out of the north country
to make ^lthe cities of Judah a desolation,
^ma lair of jackals.

Jeremiah 25:9

9 ⁿbehold, I will send for all the tribes of the north, declares the Lord, and for Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^omy servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations. I will devote them to destruction, ^pand make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting desolation.

Ezekiel 26:7-21

7 “For thus says the Lord God: ^qBehold, I will bring against Tyre ^rfrom the north Nebuchadnezzar ^{▼▼Hebrew Nebuchadrezzar; so throughout Ezekiel} king of Babylon, ^tking of kings, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a host of many soldiers. 8 He will kill with the sword ^uyour daughters on the mainland. ^vHe will set up a siege wall against you and throw up a mound against you, and raise ^wa roof of shields against you. 9 ^xHe will direct the shock of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. 10 His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen and wagons and chariots, when he enters your gates as men enter a city that has been breached. 11 With the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. He will kill your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground. 12 They will plunder ^yyour riches and loot ^zyour merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. Your stones and timber and ^aasoil they will cast into the midst of the waters. 13 ^abAnd I will stop the music of your songs, and ^acthe sound of your lyres shall be heard no more. 14 ^adI will make you a bare rock. ^aeYou shall be a place for the spreading of nets. You shall never be rebuilt, ^affor I am the Lord; I have spoken, declares the Lord God.

15 “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: Will not ^agthe coastlands shake at the sound of your fall, ^ahwhen the wounded groan, when slaughter is made in your midst? 16 Then all ^aithe princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and ^ajremove their robes and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling; ^akthey will sit on the ground and ^altremble every moment and ^ambe appalled at you. 17 And they will ^anraise a lamentation over you and say to you,

“‘How you have perished,
you who were inhabited from the seas,
O city renowned,
^aowho was mighty on the sea;
she and her inhabitants ^apimposed their terror
on all her inhabitants!
18 Now the coastlands tremble
on the day of your fall,
and the coastlands that are on the sea
are dismayed at your passing.’
19 “For thus says the Lord God: When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, ^aqwhen I bring up the deep over you, and the great waters cover you, 20 then ^arI will make you go down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of old, and I will make you to dwell in the world below, among ruins from of old, ^aswith those who go down to the pit, so that you will not be inhabited; but I will set beauty ^atin the land of the living. 21 I will bring you ^auto a dreadful end, and you shall be no more. ^avThough you be sought for, you will never be found again, declares the Lord God.”
