Jeremiah 46:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ “But that day belongs to the Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies.
    At that time he will give those people the punishment they deserve.
The sword will kill until it is finished.
    The sword will kill until it satisfies its thirst for blood.
This is because the Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies, will offer a sacrifice.
    That sacrifice is Egypt’s army in the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.

¹¹ “Go to Gilead and get some balm.
    Go up, people of Egypt!
You will make up many medicines,
    but you will not be healed.
¹² The nations will hear of your shame.
    Your cries will fill all the earth.
One warrior will run into another.
    And both of them will fall down together!”
