7. What nation is this,that rises like the River Nileoverflowing its banks?
8. It is Egypt, rising with a roarlike a raging riverand saying,“I'll flood the earth,destroying cities, and killingeveryone in them.”
9. Go ahead, Egypt.Tell your chariots and cavalryto attack and fight hard.Order your troops to march out,with Ethiopians and Libyanscarrying shields,and the Lydians armed with bowsand arrows.
10. But the Lord All-Powerfulwill win this battleand take revengeon his enemies.His sword will eat themand drink their blooduntil it is full.They will be killed in the northnear the River Euphrates,as a sacrifice to the Lord.
