15 “Here I am bringing in on you a nation from far away, O house of Israel,”+ declares Jehovah.
“It is an enduring nation.
It is an ancient nation,
A nation whose language you do not know,
And whose speech you cannot understand.+
16 Their quiver is like an open grave;
All of them are warriors.
17 They will devour your harvest and your bread.+
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 destroy with the sword your fortified cities in which you trust.”

22 “Therefore, O·hoʹli·bah, this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: ‘Here I am stirring up your lovers+ whom you* turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every direction,+ 23 the sons of Babylon+ and all the Chal·deʹans,+ the men of Peʹkod+ and Shoʹa and Koʹa, along with all the sons of As·syrʹi·a. All of them are desirable young men, governors and deputy rulers, warriors and handpicked,* all mounted on horses.
