9. Horsemen, charge into battle!Chariot drivers, drive hard!March on, brave soldiers—soldiers from the countries of Cush and Put who carry shields,soldiers from Lydia who use bows.
10. “But that day belongs to the Lord God All-Powerful.At that time he will give those people the punishment they deserve.The sword will kill until it is finished,until it satisfies its thirst for their blood.The Lord God All-Powerful will offer a sacrificein the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.
11. “Go up to Gilead and get some balm,people of Egypt!You have prepared many medicines,but they will not work;you will not be healed.
12. The nations have heard of your shame,and your cries fill all the earth.One warrior has run into another;both of them have fallen down together!”
