Go up, you horses, and [a](A)drive madly, you chariots,
That the mighty men may go forth:
[b]Ethiopia and [c](B)Put, who seize the shield,
And the [d](C)Lydians, who seize and bend the bow.
10 Indeed, (D)that day belongs to Lord Yahweh of hosts,
A day of (E)vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on His adversaries;
And the (F)sword will devour and be satiated
And [e]drink its fill of their blood;
For there will be a (G)sacrifice to Lord Yahweh of hosts
In the land of the north by the river Euphrates.
11 Go (H)up to Gilead and obtain balm,
(I)O virgin daughter of Egypt!
In vain have you multiplied [f]remedies;
There is (J)no healing for you.

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)

But you try many medicines in vain;
