⁶ “Fast men cannot run away.
    Strong soldiers cannot escape.
They will all stumble and fall.
    This will happen in the north, by the Euphrates River.
⁷ Who is coming like the Nile River?
    Who is coming like that strong, fast river?
⁸ It is Egypt that comes like the rising Nile River.
    It is Egypt that comes like that strong, fast river.
Egypt says, ‘I will come and cover the earth.
    I will destroy the cities and the people in them.’
