Jeremiah 46:9-11
International Children’s Bible
Jeremiah 46:9-11
International Children’s Bible
9 Horsemen, charge into battle!
Chariot drivers, drive hard!
March on, brave soldiers—
soldiers from Cush and Put who carry shields.
March on, soldiers from Lydia who use bows.
10 “But that day belongs to the Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies.
At that time he will give those people the punishment they deserve.
The sword will kill until it is finished.
The sword will kill until it satisfies its thirst for blood.
This is because the Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies, will offer a sacrifice.
That sacrifice is Egypt’s army in the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.
11 “Go to Gilead and get some balm.
Go up, people of Egypt!
You will make up many medicines,
but you will not be healed.

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)
