10 This day belongs to the Lord God of hosts,
    a day of retribution
    and vengeance on his enemies.
The sword will devour and be sated
    until drunk with their blood.
For the Lord God of hosts
    is holding a sacrificial feast
in the land of the north
    by the River Euphrates.
11 Go up to Gilead and obtain balm,
    O virgin daughter Egypt.
The many medicines you have used
    have afforded you no healing.
12 The nations have heard of your shame;
    the earth is filled with your cries.
Warrior stumbles against warrior,
    and both fall down together.

10 But that day(A) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance(B), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour(C) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.(D)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice(E)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.(F)

11 “Go up to Gilead and get balm,(G)
    Virgin(H) Daughter Egypt.
But you try many medicines in vain;
    there is no healing(I) for you.
12 The nations will hear of your shame;
    your cries will fill the earth.
One warrior will stumble over another;
    both will fall(J) down together.”
