Jeremiah 46:6
Let not the swift flee away - Even the swiftest shall not be able to escape.
They shall - fall toward the north - By the Euphrates, which was northward of Judea. Here the Egyptian army was routed with great
slaughter.
4 Harness the horses,
And mount up, you horsemen!
Stand forth with your helmets,
Polish the spears,
aPut on the armor!
And mount up, you horsemen!
Stand forth with your helmets,
Polish the spears,
aPut on the armor!
5 Why have I seen them dismayed and turned back?
Their mighty ones are beaten down;
They have speedily fled,
And did not look back,
For afear was all around,” says the Lord.
Their mighty ones are beaten down;
They have speedily fled,
And did not look back,
For afear was all around,” says the Lord.
6 “Do not let the swift flee away,
Nor the mighty man escape;
They will astumble and fall
Toward the north, by the River Euphrates.
Nor the mighty man escape;
They will astumble and fall
Toward the north, by the River Euphrates.
8 Egypt rises up like a flood,
And its waters move like the rivers;
And he says, ‘I will go up and cover the earth,
I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.’
And its waters move like the rivers;
And he says, ‘I will go up and cover the earth,
I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.’
