²Concerning Egypt:^(A)

This is the message against the army of Pharaoh Necho^(B) king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish^(C) on the Euphrates^(D) River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim^(E) son of Josiah king of Judah:

³“Prepare your shields,^(F) both large and small,
    and march out for battle!
⁴Harness the horses,
    mount the steeds!
Take your positions
    with helmets on!
Polish^(G) your spears,
    put on your armor!^(H)
⁵What do I see?
    They are terrified,
they are retreating,
    their warriors are defeated.
They flee^(I) in haste
    without looking back,
    and there is terror^(J) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
⁶“The swift cannot flee^(K)
    nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates^(L)
    they stumble and fall.^(M)

⁷“Who is this that rises like the Nile,
    like rivers of surging waters?^(N)
⁸Egypt rises like the Nile,^(O)
    like rivers of surging waters.
She says, ‘I will rise and cover the earth;
    I will destroy cities and their people.’^(P)
⁹Charge, you horses!
    Drive furiously, you charioteers!^(Q)
March on, you warriors—men of Cush^[a]^(R) and Put who carry shields,
    men of Lydia^(S) who draw the bow.
¹⁰But that day^(T) belongs to the Lord, the Lord Almighty—
    a day of vengeance^(U), for vengeance on his foes.
The sword will devour^(V) till it is satisfied,
    till it has quenched its thirst with blood.^(W)
For the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will offer sacrifice^(X)
    in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.^(Y)

¹¹“Go up to Gilead and get balm,^(Z)
    Virgin^(AA) Daughter Egypt.
But you try many medicines in vain;
    there is no healing^(AB) for you.
¹²The nations will hear of your shame;
    your cries will fill the earth.
One warrior will stumble over another;
    both will fall^(AC) down together.”
