Euphrates

concerning Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah:

“The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall.

For that day belongs to the Lord GOD of Hosts, a day of vengeance against His foes. The sword will devour until it is satisfied, until it is quenched with their blood. For the Lord GOD of Hosts will hold a sacrifice in the land of the north by the River Euphrates.

When you finish reading this scroll, tie a stone to it and cast it into the Euphrates.

saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

And the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings of the East.
