Jeremiah 46:8-10
Authorized (King James) Version
8 Egypt riseth up like a flood,
and his waters are moved like the rivers;
and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth;
I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots;
and let the mighty men come forth;
the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield;
and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
10 For this is the day of the Lord God of hosts,
a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries:
and the sword shall devour,
and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood:
for the Lord God of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
