Jeremiah 46:8 in Context — Jeremiah 46

6 No huya el ligero, ni el valiente escape; al aquilón junto á la ribera del Eufrates tropezaron y cayeron.

7 ¿Quién es éste que como río sube, y cuyas aguas se mueven como ríos?

8 Egipto como río se hincha, y las aguas se mueven como ríos, y dijo: Subiré, cubriré la tierra, destruiré la ciudad y los que en ella moran.

9 Subid, caballos, y alborotaos, carros; y salgan los valientes: los de Cus y los de Phut que toman escudo, y los de Lut que toman y entesan arco.

10 Mas ese día será á Jehová Dios de los ejércitos día de venganza, para vengarse de sus enemigos: y la espada devorará y se hartará, y se embriagará de la sangre de ellos: porque matanza será á Jehová, Dios de los ejércitos, en tierra del aquilón junto al río Eufrates.
