Jeremiah 46:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷ Who is this, rising like the Nile,
    like rivers whose waters surge?
⁸ Egypt rises like the Nile,
    like rivers whose waters surge.
It said, Let me rise, let me cover the earth,
    let me destroy cities and their inhabitants.
⁹ Advance, O horses,
    and dash madly, O chariots!
Let the warriors go forth:
    Ethiopia^[a] and Put who carry the shield,
    the Ludim, who draw^[b] the bow.
