⁹     Charge, O horses; go up into the fray! Let your chariots madly rush in!
        March, mighty warriors, summoned to war.
    Soldiers of Ethiopia and Libya who carry shields,
        archers of Ludim who bend the bow, march to your defeat!
¹⁰     For this day belongs to the Eternal Lord, Commander of heavenly armies;
        it is a day of vengeance, a day to pay back His enemies.
    The sword will devour them until it is satisfied,
        until its thirst for their blood has been quenched.
    For the Eternal Lord, Commander of heavenly armies,
        will offer them as a sacrifice beside the river Euphrates in the land of the north.
¹¹     Go up to Gilead to find balm for your wounds,
        O virgin daughter of Egypt.
    But you will find no relief in your many medicines.
        This time your wound will not heal.
