2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh-neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah. 3 Make ready buckler and shield, And draw near to battle. 4 Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, And stand forth with your helmets; Furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail. 5 Wherefore do I see them dismayed and turned backward? And their mighty ones are beaten down, And they are fled apace, and look not back; Terror is on every side, saith the LORD. 6 The swift cannot flee away, Nor the mighty man escape; In the north by the river Euphrates Have they stumbled and fallen. Jeremiah 46:2-6, JPS Tanakh 1917. Public domain.
