Jeremiah 46:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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^[a] and Put who carry the shield,
    the Ludim, who draw^[b] 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.
