    like rivers whose waters surge.
He said, I will rise, I will cover the earth,
    I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.

    men of Ethiopia and Put who handle the shield,
    men of Lud, skilled in handling the bow.
10 That day is the day of the Lord God of hosts,
    a day of vengeance,

    and drink its fill of their blood.
For the Lord God of hosts holds a sacrifice
    in the north country by the river Euphra′tes.
