Jeremiah 46:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶ The swift cannot flee,
    nor can the brave warriors escape.
In the north, by the River Euphrates,
    they have stumbled and fallen.
⁷ Who is this that rises like the Nile,
    like rivers of torrential waters?
⁸ Egypt rises up like the Nile,
    like rivers of torrential waters.
I will rise up, Egypt says, and cover the earth;
    I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.
