rsv Jeremiah:46:1-12
rsv@Jeremiah:46:1 @ The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
rsv@Jeremiah:46:2 @ About Egypt. Concerning the army of Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphra'tes at Car'chemish and which Nebuchadrez'zar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoi'akim the son of Josi'ah, king of Judah:
rsv@Jeremiah:46:3 @ "Prepare buckler and shield, and advance for battle!
rsv@Jeremiah:46:4 @ Harness the horses; mount, O horsemen! Take your stations with your helmets, polish your spears, put on your coats of mail!
rsv@Jeremiah:46:5 @ Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and have turned backward. Their warriors are beaten down, and have fled in haste; they look not back--terror on every side! says the LORD.
rsv@Jeremiah:46:6 @ The swift cannot flee away, nor the warrior escape; in the north by the river Euphra'tes they have stumbled and fallen.
rsv@Jeremiah:46:7 @ "Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
rsv@Jeremiah:46:8 @ Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He said, I will rise, I will cover the earth, I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.
rsv@Jeremiah:46:9 @ Advance, O horses, and rage, O chariots! Let the warriors go forth: men of Ethiopia and Put who handle the shield, men of Lud, skilled in handling the bow.
rsv@Jeremiah:46:10 @ That day is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, to avenge himself on his foes. The sword shall devour and be sated, and drink its fill of their blood. For the Lord GOD of hosts holds a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphra'tes.
rsv@Jeremiah:46:11 @ Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt! In vain you have used many medicines; there is no healing for you.
rsv@Jeremiah:46:12 @ The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for warrior has stumbled against warrior; they have both fallen together."
