Jeremiah 46:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ It is Egypt, rising like the Nile,
    like a river flooding its banks.
Egypt said, ‘I will rise and cover the world;
    I will destroy cities and the people who live there.
⁹ Command the horses to go
    and the chariots to roll!
Send out the soldiers:
    men from Ethiopia^[a] and Libya, carrying shields,
    and skilled archers from Lydia.’”
