“For that day is of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,a day of vengeance,that he may avenge himself of his adversaries.The sword will devour and be satiated,and will drink its fill of their blood;for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.”
Jeremiah 46:10 (WEB)
Context Reading
8Egypt rises up like the Nile,like rivers whose waters surge.He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth.I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’ 9Go up, you horses!Rage, you chariots!Let the mighty men go out:Cush and Put, who handle the shield;and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow. 10For that day is of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,a day of vengeance,that he may avenge himself of his adversaries.The sword will devour and be satiated,and will drink its fill of their blood;for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. 11Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt.You use many medicines in vain.There is no healing for you. 12The nations have heard of your shame,and the earth is full of your cry;for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty,they both fall together.”
