Jeremiah 46:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ “Egyptians, prepare your shields!
    Prepare large and small shields alike!
    March out for battle!
⁴ 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!
⁵ What do I see?
    The Egyptians are terrified.
They are pulling back.
    Their soldiers are losing.
They run away as fast as they can.
    They do not look back.
    There is terror on every side,” announces the Lord.
