2 To (A)Egypt, concerning the army of (B)Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was by the Euphrates River at (C)Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the (D)fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:

For (S)that day belongs to the Lord (h)God of hosts,
A day of (T)vengeance, so as to avenge Himself on His foes;
And the (U)sword will devour and be satiated
And (i)drink its fill of their blood;
For there will be a (V)slaughter for the Lord (j)God of hosts,
In the land of the north by the river Euphrates.

For they move on (s)like an army
And come to her as woodcutters with axes.

25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I am going to punish Amon of (BB)Thebes, and (BC)Pharaoh, and Egypt along with her (BD)gods and her kings, even Pharaoh and those who (BE)trust in him.
26 I shall give them over to the (v)power of those who are (BF)seeking their lives, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of his (w)officers. (BG)Afterwards, however, it will be inhabited as in the days of old,” declares the Lord.
