English Standard Version

²About Egypt. ^(A)Concerning the army of Pharaoh Neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish and which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in ^(B)the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:

³^(C)“Prepare buckler and shield,
    and advance for battle!
⁴^(D)Harness the horses;
    mount, O horsemen!
Take your stations with your helmets,
    ^(E)polish your spears,
    put on your armor!
⁵Why have I seen it?
They are dismayed
    and have turned backward.
Their ^(F)warriors are beaten down
    and have fled in haste;
^(G)they look not back—
    ^(H)terror on every side!
declares the Lord.

⁶“The swift cannot flee away,
nor the warrior escape;
^(I)in the north by the river Euphrates
^(J)they have stumbled and fallen.

⁷“Who is this, ^(K)rising like the Nile,
    like rivers ^(L)whose waters surge?
⁸Egypt rises like the Nile,
    like rivers ^(M)whose waters surge.
He said, ‘I will rise, I will cover the earth,
    I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.’
⁹^(N)Advance, O horses,
    and rage, O chariots!
Let the warriors go out:
    men of Cush and ^(O)Put who handle the shield,
    ^(P)men of Lud, skilled in handling the bow.
¹⁰^(Q)That day is the day of the Lord God of hosts,
    ^(R)a day of vengeance,
    ^(S)to avenge himself on his foes.
^(T)The sword shall devour and be sated
    and drink its fill of their blood.
For the Lord God of hosts holds ^(U)a sacrifice
    ^(V)in the north country ^(W)by the river Euphrates.
¹¹^(X)Go up to Gilead, and take ^(Y)balm,
    O virgin daughter of Egypt!
In vain you have used many medicines;
    ^(Z)there is no healing for you.
¹²The nations have heard of your shame,
    and the earth is full of your cry;
^(AA)for warrior has stumbled against warrior;
    they have both fallen together.”
