Against Egypt .
Concerning the army of Pharaoh Necho ,
king of Egypt ,
which was by the River Euphrates in Carchemish ,
and which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah ,
king of Judah :
* "
Order the buckler and shield ,
And draw near to battle !
*
Harness the horses ,
And mount up ,
you horsemen !
Stand forth with your helmets ,
Polish the spears ,
Put on the armor !
*
Why have I seen them dismayed and turned back ?
Their mighty ones are beaten down ;
They have speedily fled ,
And did not look back ,
For fear was all around ,"
says the LORD .
* "
Do not let the swift flee away ,
Nor the mighty man escape ;
They will stumble and fall Toward the north ,
by the River Euphrates .
* "
Who is this coming up like a flood ,
Whose waters move like the rivers ?
*
Egypt rises up like a flood ,
And its waters move like the rivers ;
And he says , "
I will go up and cover the earth ,
I will destroy the city and its inhabitants .'
*
Come up ,
O horses ,
and rage ,
O chariots !
And let the mighty men come forth :
The Ethiopians and the Libyans who handle the shield ,
And the Lydians who handle and bend the bow .
*
For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts ,
A day of vengeance ,
That He may avenge Himself on His adversaries .
The sword shall devour ;
It shall be satiated and made drunk with their blood ;
For the Lord GOD of hosts has a sacrifice In the north country by the River Euphrates .
* "
Go up to Gilead and take balm ,
O virgin ,
the daughter of Egypt ;
In vain you will use many medicines ;
You shall not be cured .
*
The nations have heard of your shame ,
And your cry has filled the land ;
For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty ;
They both have fallen together ."
