Horse soldiers, charge into battle.
    Chariot drivers, drive fast.
March on, brave soldiers.
    Soldiers from Cush and Put, carry your shields.
    Soldiers from Lydia, use your bows.

10 “But on that day, the Lord God All-Powerful will win.
    He will give his enemies the punishment they deserve.
His sword will kill until it is finished,
    until it has satisfied its thirst for blood.
Yes, the Lord God All-Powerful will kill them as a sacrifice
    in the land of the north by the Euphrates River.

11 “Egypt, go to Gilead and get some medicine.
    You will make up many medicines, but they will not help.
    You will not be healed.

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)

11 “Go up to Gilead and get balm,(J)
    Virgin(K) Daughter Egypt.
But you try many medicines in vain;
    there is no healing(L) for you.
