24:046:009 Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots;
and let the mighty
men
come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle
the
shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
24:046:010 For this is the day of the Lord god
of hosts, a day of
vengeance,
that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and
the
sword
shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk
with
their blood: for the Lord god of hosts hath
a sacrifice
in
the north country by the river Euphrates.
24:046:011 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin,
the daughter of
Egypt:
in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt
not
be cured.
24:046:012 The nations have heard of thy shame, and
thy cry hath filled
the
land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against
the mighty,
and
they are fallen both together.
24:046:013 The word that the lord spake to Jeremiah
the prophet, how
Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon should come and smite the land
of
Egypt.
24:046:014 Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol,
and publish in
Noph
and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare
thee;
for
the sword shall devour round about thee.
24:046:015 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they
stood not, because
the
lord did drive them.
24:046:016 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon
another: and they
said,
Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to
the
land
of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
24:046:017 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt
is but a noise; he
hath
passed the time appointed.
24:046:018 As I live, saith the King, whose name is
the lord of hosts,
Surely
as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the
sea,
so shall he come.
24:046:019 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish
thyself to go into
captivity:
for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an
inhabitant.
24:046:020 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction
cometh; it
cometh
out of the north.
24:046:021 Also her hired men are in the midst of
her like fatted
bullocks;
for they also are turned back, and are fled away
together:
they did not stand, because the day of their
calamity
was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
24:046:022 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent;
for they shall
march
with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers
of
wood.
24:046:023 They shall cut down her forest, saith the
lord, though it
cannot
be searched; because they are more than the
grasshoppers,
and are innumerable.
