Jeremiah 46:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ Horses, get up!
Chariots, drive furiously!
Let the warriors go forward,
    Ethiopia and Put, who carry shields,
        and the Lydians who handle and bend the bow.
¹⁰ That day belongs to the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
    It is a day of vengeance to take vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour and be satisfied,
    and will drink its fill of their blood.
For the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies
    will hold a sacrifice in the land of the north,
        by the Euphrates river.
¹¹ Go up to Gilead and get balm,^[a]
    virgin daughter of Egypt!
In vain you multiply remedies,
    but there is no healing for you.
