Jeremiah 46:6 Context
4Harnesse the horses, and get vp ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets, furbish the speares, and put on the brigandines. 5Wherefore haue I seene them dismaid, and turned away backe? and their mightie ones are beaten downe, & are fled apace, and looke not back: for feare was round about, saith the Lord. 6Let not the swift flee away, nor the mightie man escape: they shal stumble and fall toward the North by the riuer Euphrates. 7Who is this that cōmeth vp as a flood, whose waters are moued as þe riuers? 8Egypt riseth vp like a flood, and his waters are moued like the riuers, and he saith, I wil goe vp, and will couer the earth, I will destroy the citie and the inhabitants thereof.
