Jeremiah 46:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]Wherefore have I seen them afraid, and driven back? for their mighty men are smitten, and are fled away, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the Lord.
6 The swift shall not flee away, nor the strong man escape: they shall stumble, and [b]fall toward the North by the river Perath.
7 Who is this that cometh up as [c]a flood, whose waters are moved like the rivers?

5 What do I see?
They are terrified,
they are retreating,
their warriors are defeated.
They flee(A) in haste
without looking back,
and there is terror(B) on every side,”
declares the Lord.

nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates(D)
they stumble and fall.(E)

like rivers of surging waters?(F)
