5Why have I seen it?They are dismayed and are turned backward.Their mighty ones are beaten down,have fled in haste,and don’t look back.Terror is on every side,”says Yahweh. 6“Don’t let the swift flee away,nor the mighty man escape.In the north by the river Euphratesthey have stumbled and fallen. 7“Who is this who rises up like the Nile,like rivers whose waters surge? 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.
