5. What do I see? The Egyptians are terrified. They are pulling back. Their soldiers are losing. They run away as fast as they can. They do not look back. There is terror on every side," announces the Lord.
6. "Those who run fast can't get away. Those who are strong can't escape. In the north by the Euphrates River they trip and fall.
7. "Who is this that rises like the Nile River? Who rises like rivers of rushing waters?
8. Egypt rises like the Nile River. It rises like rivers of rushing waters. Egypt says, 'I will rise and cover the earth. I'll destroy cities and their people.'
