Jeremiah 46:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶The swift cannot flee away,
nor the warrior escape;
in the north by the river Euphra′tes
they have stumbled and fallen.

⁷“Who is this, rising like the Nile,
    like rivers whose waters surge?
⁸Egypt rises like the Nile,
    like rivers whose waters surge.
He said, I will rise, I will cover the earth,
    I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.
