Jeremiah 8:16

“Do you make him leap like the locust? His splendid snorting is terrible.

For a voice declares from Dan, And makes wickedness heard from Mount Ephraim.

“They will devour your harvest and your food; They will devour your sons and your daughters; They will devour your flocks and your herds; They will devour your vines and your fig trees; They will demolish with the sword your fortified cities in which you trust.

Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not know You And on the families that do not call Your name, For they have devoured Jacob; They have devoured him and consumed him And have made desolate his abode.

“For thus says Yahweh, ‘We have heard a sound of trembling, Of dread, and there is no peace.

‘Therefore all who devour you will be devoured; And all your adversaries, every one of them, will go into captivity; And those who take you as spoil will be spoil, And all who plunder you I will give as plunder.

“Because of the noise of the galloping hoofs of his valiant steeds, The quaking of his chariots, and the tumult of his wheels, The fathers have not turned back for their children, Because of the limpness of their hands,

“They seize their bow and javelin; They are cruel and have no compassion. Their voice roars like the sea; And they ride on horses, Arranged like a man for the battle Against you, O daughter of Babylon.

So the land quakes and writhes, For the purposes of Yahweh against Babylon stand, To make the land of Babylon A desolation without inhabitants.
