Jeremiah 46:6-8

The Voice

⁶     The fast cannot outrun it; the mighty cannot escape it.
        Beside the river Euphrates in the north, they stumble and fall.
⁷     Who is this I see rising like the river Nile,
        like a swollen, flooding river?
⁸     It is Egypt that rises like the river Nile,
        her pride like a swollen, flooding river.
    Pharaoh blusters, “I will rise and cover the earth, like a river.
        I will destroy the cities and their people who dare to stand in my way.”
