Here is what the Lord says about Egypt.

Here is his message against the army of Pharaoh Necho. He was king of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, won the battle over Necho’s army. That happened at Carchemish on the Euphrates River. It was in the fourth year that Jehoiakim was king of Judah. He was the son of Josiah. The message says,

“Egyptians, prepare your shields!
    Prepare large and small shields alike!
    March out for battle!
Get the horses and chariots ready to ride!
    Take up your battle positions!
    Put on your helmets!
Shine up your spears!
    Put on your armor!
