Behold, I will certainly bring bcalamity on this people—
cThe fruit of their thoughts,
Because they have not heeded My words
Nor My law, but rejected it.

Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me.”

And the fathers and the sons together shall fall on them.
The neighbor and his friend shall perish.”

And a great nation will be raised from the farthest parts of the earth.

23 They will lay hold on bow and spear;
They are cruel and have no mercy;
Their voice aroars like the sea;
And they ride on horses,
As men of war set in array against you, O daughter of Zion.”
