Jeremiah 46:7–8

“Who is this, rising like the Nile,

like rivers whose waters surge?

Egypt rises like the Nile,

like rivers whose waters surge.

He said, ‘I will rise, I will cover the earth,

I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.’

“Who is this that rises like the Nile,

like rivers of surging waters?

Egypt rises like the Nile,

like rivers of surging waters.

She says, ‘I will rise and cover the earth;

I will destroy cities and their people.’

Who is this, rising like the Nile,

with waters that churn like rivers?

Egypt rises like the Nile,

and its waters churn like rivers.

He boasts, “I will go up, I will cover the earth;

I will destroy cities with their residents.”

“Who is this, rising like the Nile at floodtime,

overflowing all the land?

It is the Egyptian army,

overflowing all the land,

boasting that it will cover the earth like a flood,

destroying cities and their people.

Who is this that rises like the Nile,

like the rivers whose waters surge?

Egypt rises like the Nile,

even like the rivers whose waters surge.

And he says, “Let me rise,

let me cover the earth,

let me destroy cities,

and the inhabitants in them.”

Who is this that cometh up as a flood,

Whose waters are moved as the rivers?

Egypt riseth up like a flood,

And his waters are moved like the rivers;

And he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth;

I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
