Jeremiah 46:9-11
Good News Translation

9 Command the horses to go
    and the chariots to roll!
Send out the soldiers:
    men from Ethiopia[a] and Libya, carrying shields,
    and skilled archers from Lydia.’”

10 This is the day of the Sovereign Lord Almighty:
    today he will take revenge;
    today he will punish his enemies.
His sword will eat them until it is full,
    and drink their blood until it is satisfied.
Today the Almighty sacrifices his victims
    in the north, by the Euphrates.
11 People of Egypt, go to Gilead[b]
    and look for medicine!
All your medicine has proved useless;
    nothing can heal you.

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)

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.
