Jeremiah 46:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶“The swift cannot flee,
    nor can the strong escape.
In the north, beside the Euphrates River,
    they stumble and fall.
⁷Who is this, rising like the Nile,
    like rivers whose waters surge?
⁸Egypt is rising like the Nile,
    like rivers whose waters surge.
He says, ‘I’ll rise and cover the land.^[a]
    I’ll destroy the city and its inhabitants.’
