Jeremiah 46:8-10
Modern English Version
Jeremiah 46:8-10
Modern English Version
8 Egypt rises up like the Nile,
and his waters surge about like the rivers.
And he has said, I will go up and will cover the land.
I will surely destroy the city and its inhabitants.
9 Come up, O horses,
and rage, O chariots!
And let the mighty men come forth:
the Ethiopians and the Libyans who handle the shield,
and the Lydians who handle and bend the bow.
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.
Jeremiah 46:8-10
New International Version
Jeremiah 46:8-10
New International Version
8 Egypt rises like the Nile,(A)
like rivers of surging waters.
She says, ‘I will rise and cover the earth;
I will destroy cities and their people.’(B)
9 Charge, you horses!
Drive furiously, you charioteers!(C)
March on, you warriors—men of Cush[a](D) and Put who carry shields,
men of Lydia(E) who draw the bow.
10 But that day(F) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
a day of vengeance(G), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour(H) till it is satisfied,
till it has quenched its thirst with blood.(I)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice(J)
in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.(K)
