Jeremiah 46:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰But that day belongs to me.
    I am the Lord who rules over all.
    It is a day for me to pay back my enemies.
My sword will eat until it is satisfied.
    It will drink until it is not thirsty for blood anymore.
I am the Lord. I am the Lord who rules over all.
    I will offer a sacrifice.
I will offer it in the land of the north
    by the Euphrates River.

¹¹“People of Egypt,
    go up to Gilead and get some healing lotion.
You may try many medicines, but you will not be healed.
    There isn’t any healing for you.
¹²The nations will hear about your shame.
    Your cries of pain will fill the earth.
One soldier will trip over another.
    Both of them will fall down together.”
