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.”
| << Jeremiah 46:7 | Jeremiah 46:9 >> |
