Jeremiah 46:9-11
Contemporary English Version
Jeremiah 46:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 Go ahead, Egypt.
Tell your chariots and cavalry
to attack and fight hard.
Order your troops to march out,
with Ethiopians[a] and Libyans
carrying shields,
and the Lydians[b] armed with bows
and arrows.
10 But the Lord All-Powerful
will win this battle
and take revenge
on his enemies.
His sword will eat them
and drink their blood
until it is full.
They will be killed in the north
near the Euphrates River,
as a sacrifice to the Lord.
11 Egypt, no medicine can heal you,
not even the soothing lotion
from Gilead.
Jeremiah 46:9-11
New International Version
Jeremiah 46:9-11
New International Version
9 Charge, you horses!
Drive furiously, you charioteers!(A)
March on, you warriors—men of Cush[a](B) and Put who carry shields,
men of Lydia(C) who draw the bow.
10 But that day(D) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
a day of vengeance(E), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour(F) till it is satisfied,
till it has quenched its thirst with blood.(G)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice(H)
in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.(I)
