Go into battle, you horsemen.
    Drive wildly, you chariot drivers.
    March into battle, you warriors,
    you warriors from Sudan and Put who carry shields,
    you warriors from Lydia who use bows and arrows.
10 That day belongs to Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth.
    It is a day of vengeance when he will take revenge on his enemies.
        His sword will devour until it has had enough,
            and it will drink their blood until it’s full.
        Adonay Yahweh Tsebaoth will offer them as sacrifices
            in the north by the Euphrates River.
11 Go to Gilead, and get medicine, dear people of Egypt.
    You have used many medicines without results; you can’t be cured.

    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)
