Jeremiah 46:9-11
Revised Standard Version
9 Advance, O horses,
and rage, O chariots!
Let the warriors go forth:
men of Ethiopia and Put who handle the shield,
men of Lud, skilled in handling the bow.
10 That day is the day of the Lord God of hosts,
a day of vengeance,
to avenge himself on his foes.
The sword shall devour and be sated,
and drink its fill of their blood.
For the Lord God of hosts holds a sacrifice
in the north country by the river Euphra′tes.
11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm,
O virgin daughter of Egypt!
in vain you have used many medicines;
there is no healing for you.
