10 For this is the day of the Lord God of Hosts,
    a day of vengeance, so that He may avenge Himself of His adversaries.
And the sword will devour;
    and it will be satiated and made drunk with their blood;
for the Lord God of Hosts has a slaughter
    in the north country by the River Euphrates.

11 Go up into Gilead and take balm,
    O virgin daughter of Egypt;
in vain you shall use many medicines,
    for you will not be cured.
12 The nations have heard of your shame,
    and your cry has filled the land;
for the mighty man has stumbled over the mighty,
    and they both have fallen together.

10 But that day(A) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance(B), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour(C) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.(D)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice(E)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.(F)

11 “Go up to Gilead and get balm,(G)
    Virgin(H) Daughter Egypt.
But you try many medicines in vain;
    there is no healing(I) for you.
12 The nations will hear of your shame;
    your cries will fill the earth.
One warrior will stumble over another;
    both will fall(J) down together.”
