Jeremiah 46:9-11

New Catholic Bible

⁹Advance, O horses,
    and drive madly, O chariots.
Let the warriors advance:
    men from Ethiopia and Put bearing shields,
    and men from Lud who draw their bows.
¹⁰This day belongs to the Lord God of hosts,
    a day of retribution
    and vengeance on his enemies.
The sword will devour and be sated
    until drunk with their blood.
For the Lord God of hosts
    is holding a sacrificial feast
in the land of the north
    by the River Euphrates.
¹¹Go up to Gilead and obtain balm,
    O virgin daughter Egypt.
The many medicines you have used
    have afforded you no healing.

New International Version

⁹Charge, 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.
¹⁰But 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)
