Judgment on Egypt
And mount up, you horsemen!
Stand forth with your helmets,
Polish the spears,
aPut on the armor!
Their mighty ones are beaten down;
They have speedily fled,
And did not look back,
For afear was all around,” says the Lord.
Nor the mighty man escape;
They will astumble and fall
Toward the north, by the River Euphrates.
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 let the mighty men come forth:
1The Ethiopians and2 the Libyans who handle the shield,
And the Lydians awho handle and bend the bow.
A day of vengeance,
That He may avenge Himself on His adversaries.
bThe sword shall devour;
It shall be1 satiated and made drunk with their blood;
For the Lord God of hosts chas a sacrifice
In the north country by the River Euphrates.
bO virgin, the daughter of Egypt;
In vain you will use many medicines;
cYou shall not be cured.
And your cry has filled the land;
For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty;
They both have fallen together.”
Babylonia Will Strike Egypt
Proclaim in Noph and in bTahpanhes;
Say, ‘Stand fast and prepare yourselves,
For the sword devours all around you.’
Yes, aone fell upon another.
And they said, ‘Arise!
bLet us go back to our own people
And to the land of our nativity
From the oppressing sword.’
aWhose name is the Lord of hosts,
“Surely as Tabor is among the mountains
And as Carmel by the sea, so he shall come.
| << Jeremiah 46:1 | Jeremiah 46:3 >> |
