Jeremiah 46:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ Those who run fast cannot get away;
    the soldiers cannot escape.
In the north, by the Euphrates,
    they stumble and fall.
⁷ Who is this that rises like the Nile,
    like a river flooding its banks?
⁸ It is Egypt, rising like the Nile,
    like a river flooding its banks.
Egypt said, ‘I will rise and cover the world;
    I will destroy cities and the people who live there.
