Charge, you horses and chariots;
    attack, you mighty warriors of Egypt!
Come, all you allies from Ethiopia, Libya, and Lydia[a]
    who are skilled with the shield and bow!
10 For this is the day of the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,
    a day of vengeance on his enemies.
The sword will devour until it is satisfied,
    yes, until it is drunk with your blood!
The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, will receive a sacrifice today
    in the north country beside the Euphrates River.

11 “Go up to Gilead to get medicine,
    O virgin daughter of Egypt!
But your many treatments
    will bring you no healing.

  1. 46:9 Hebrew from Cush, Put, and Lud.

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.
