¹ 耶和華論列國的話臨到先知耶利米。

² 論到關乎埃及王法老尼哥的軍隊：這軍隊安營在伯拉河邊的迦基米施，是巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒在猶大王約西亞的兒子約雅敬第四年所打敗的。

³ 你們要預備大小盾牌，往前上陣。

⁴ 你們套上車，騎上馬！頂盔站立，磨槍貫甲！

⁵ 我為何看見他們驚惶轉身退後呢？他們的勇士打敗了，急忙逃跑，並不回頭；驚嚇四圍都有！這是耶和華說的。

⁶ 不要容快跑的逃避；不要容勇士逃脫（或譯：快跑的不能逃避；勇士不能逃脫）；他們在北方伯拉河邊絆跌仆倒。

⁷ 像尼羅河漲發，像江河之水翻騰的是誰呢？

⁸ 埃及像尼羅河漲發，像江河的水翻騰。他說：我要漲發遮蓋遍地；我要毀滅城邑和其中的居民。

⁹ 馬匹上去罷！車輛急行罷！勇士，就是手拿盾牌的古實人和弗人（又作呂彼亞人），並拉弓的路德族，都出去罷！

¹⁰ 那日是主─萬軍之耶和華報仇的日子，要向敵人報仇。刀劍必吞吃得飽，飲血飲足；因為主─萬軍之耶和華在北方伯拉河邊有獻祭的事。

¹¹ 埃及的民（原文是處女）哪，可以上基列取乳香去；你雖多服良藥，總是徒然，不得治好。

¹² 列國聽見你的羞辱，遍地滿了你的哀聲；勇士與勇士彼此相碰，一齊跌倒。

¹³ 耶和華對先知耶利米所說的話，論到巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒要來攻擊埃及地：

¹⁴ 你們要傳揚在埃及，宣告在密奪，報告在挪弗、答比匿說：要站起出隊，自作準備，因為刀劍在你四圍施行吞滅的事。

¹⁵ 你的壯士為何被沖去呢？他們站立不住；因為耶和華驅逐他們，

¹⁶ 使多人絆跌；他們也彼此撞倒，說：起來罷！我們再往本民本地去，好躲避欺壓的刀劍。

¹⁷ 他們在那裡喊叫說：埃及王法老不過是個聲音（或譯：已經敗亡）；他已錯過所定的時候了。

¹⁸ 君王─名為萬軍之耶和華的說：我指著我的永生起誓：尼布甲尼撒（原文是他）來的勢派必像他泊在眾山之中，像迦密在海邊一樣。

¹⁹ 住在埃及的民哪（原文是女子），要預備擄去時所用的物件；因為挪弗必成為荒場，且被燒燬，無人居住。

²⁰ 埃及是肥美的母牛犢；但出於北方的毀滅（或譯：牛虻）來到了！來到了！

²¹ 其中的雇勇好像圈裡的肥牛犢，他們轉身退後，一齊逃跑，站立不住；因為他們遭難的日子、追討的時候已經臨到。

²² 其中的聲音好像蛇行一樣。敵人要成隊而來，如砍伐樹木的手拿斧子攻擊他。

²³ 耶和華說：埃及的樹林雖然不能尋察（或譯：穿不過），敵人卻要砍伐，因他們多於蝗蟲，不可勝數。

²⁴ 埃及的民（原文是女子）必然蒙羞，必交在北方人的手中。

²⁵ 萬軍之耶和華─以色列的神說：我必刑罰挪的亞捫（埃及尊大之神）和法老，並埃及與埃及的神，以及君王，也必刑罰法老和倚靠他的人。

²⁶ 我要將他們交付尋索其命之人的手和巴比倫王尼布甲尼撒與他臣僕的手；以後埃及必再有人居住，與從前一樣。這是耶和華說的。

²⁷ 我的僕人雅各啊，不要懼怕！以色列啊，不要驚惶！因我要從遠方拯救你，從被擄到之地拯救你的後裔。雅各必回來，得享平靖安逸，無人使他害怕。

²⁸ 我的僕人雅各啊，不要懼怕！因我與你同在。我要將我所趕你到的那些國滅絕淨盡，卻不將你滅絕淨盡，倒要從寬懲治你，萬不能不罰你（不罰你：或譯以你為無罪）。這是耶和華說的。

¹¹ I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it is called Faithful and True. In righteousness he judges and makes war.

¹² His eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has names written and a name written which no one knows but he himself.

¹³ He is clothed in a garment sprinkled with blood. His name is called "The Word of God."

¹⁴ The armies which are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in white, pure, fine linen.

¹⁵ Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

¹⁶ He has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

¹⁷ I saw an angel standing in the sun. He cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in the sky, "Come! Be gathered together to the great supper of God,

¹⁸ that you may eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave, and small and great."

¹⁹ I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him who sat on the horse, and against his army.

²⁰ The beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who worked the signs in his sight, with which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

²¹ The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came forth out of his mouth. All the birds were filled with their flesh.
