Jeremiah 46:2-8
English Standard Version
3 "Prepare buckler and shield, and advance for battle!
4 Harness the horses; mount, O horsemen! Take your stations with your helmets, polish your spears, put on your armor!
5Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and have turned backward. Their warriors are beaten down and have fled in haste; they look not back — terror on every side! declares the Lord.
6"The swift cannot flee away, nor 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?
8Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He said, ‘I will rise, I will cover the earth, I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.’
