Jeremiah 46:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ What nation is this,
that rises like the Nile River
    overflowing its banks?
⁸ It is Egypt, rising with a roar
like a raging river
    and saying,
“I'll flood the earth,
destroying cities, and killing
    everyone in them.”

⁹ Go ahead, Egypt.
Tell your chariots and cavalry
    to attack and fight hard.
Order your troops to march out,
with Ethiopians^[a] and Libyans
    carrying shields,
and the Lydians^[b] armed with bows
    and arrows.
