Jeremiah 46:7-9

The Voice

⁷     Who is this I see rising like the river Nile,
        like a swollen, flooding river?
⁸     It is Egypt that rises like the river Nile,
        her pride like a swollen, flooding river.
    Pharaoh blusters, “I will rise and cover the earth, like a river.
        I will destroy the cities and their people who dare to stand in my way.”
⁹     Charge, O horses; go up into the fray! Let your chariots madly rush in!
        March, mighty warriors, summoned to war.
    Soldiers of Ethiopia and Libya who carry shields,
        archers of Ludim who bend the bow, march to your defeat!
