Jeremiah 46:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ “The fast runners cannot run away.
    The strong soldiers cannot escape.
They will stumble and fall
    in the north, by the Euphrates River.
⁷ Who is this, rising up like the Nile River?
    Who comes like that strong, fast river?
⁸ Egypt rises up like the Nile River.
    It is Egypt that comes like that strong, fast river.
Egypt says, ‘I will rise up and cover the earth.
    I will destroy cities and the people in them!’
