And he says, ‘I will go up and cover the earth,
I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.’

1The Ethiopians and2 the Libyans who handle the shield,
And the Lydians awho handle and bend the bow.

That He may avenge Himself on His adversaries.

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.”
