Jeremiah 46:10
Made drunk - These phrases only metaphorically signify, the great slaughter God would make that day amongst the Egyptians.
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.’
9 Come up, O horses, and rage, O chariots!
And let the mighty men come forth:
1The Ethiopians and2 the Libyans who handle the shield,
And the Lydians awho handle and bend the bow.

10 For this is athe day of the Lord God of hosts,
A day of vengeance,
That He may avenge Himself on His adversaries.

For the Lord God of hosts chas a sacrifice
In the north country by the River Euphrates.
