Egypt rises like the Nile,
Even like the rivers whose waters toss about;
And He has said, “I will (A)rise and cover that land;
I will surely (B)cause the city to perish, as well as its inhabitants.”
Go up, you horses, and [a](C)drive madly, you chariots,
That the mighty men may go forth:
[b]Ethiopia and [c](D)Put, who seize the shield,
And the [d](E)Lydians, who seize and bend the bow.
10 Indeed, (F)that day belongs to Lord Yahweh of hosts,
A day of (G)vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on His adversaries;
And the (H)sword will devour and be satiated
And [e]drink its fill of their blood;
For there will be a (I)sacrifice to Lord Yahweh of hosts
In the land of the north by the river Euphrates.
