Jeremiah 46:2-10

² Concerning Egypt, about the army of Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish and which King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah: ³ Prepare buckler and shield, and advance for battle! ⁴ Harness the horses; mount the steeds! Take your stations with your helmets, whet your lances, put on your coats of mail! ⁵ Why do I see them terrified? They have fallen back; their warriors are beaten down, and have fled in haste. They do not look back- terror is all around! says the Lord. ⁶ The swift cannot flee away, nor can the warrior escape; in the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen. ⁷ Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge? ⁸ Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. It said, Let me rise, let me cover the earth, let me destroy cities and their inhabitants. ⁹ Advance, O horses, and dash madly, O chariots! Let the warriors go forth: Ethiopia and Put who carry the shield, the Ludim, who draw the bow. ¹⁰ That day is the day of the Lord God of hosts, a day of retribution, to gain vindication from his foes. The sword shall devour and be sated, and drink its fill of their blood. For the Lord God of hosts holds a sacrifice in the land of the north by the river Euphrates.
