Jeremiah 46:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ Harness the horses;
    let the riders mount.
Don your helmets
    and take your stations.
Sharpen your spears
    and put on your breastplates.
⁵ What is this shameful spectacle I behold?
    They fall back in terror.
Their warriors are routed
    and are in headlong flight
    without glancing back.
There is terror on every side,
    says the Lord.
⁶ The swift cannot flee,
    nor can the brave warriors escape.
In the north, by the River Euphrates,
    they have stumbled and fallen.
