2 Concerning Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated [decisively] in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah: 3 “Line up the buckler (small shield) and [large] shield, And advance for battle! 4 “Harness the horses, And mount, you riders! Take your stand with your helmets! Polish the spears, Put on the coats of mail! 5 “Why have I seen it? They are terrified And have turned back, And their warriors are beaten down. They take flight in haste Without looking back; Terror is on every side!” Says the LORD. 6 Do not let the swift man run, Nor the mighty man escape; In the north by the river Euphrates They have stumbled and fallen.
