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.’
