8 Egypt comes up just like the Nile River,+
Like rivers of surging waters,
And it says, ‘I will go up and cover the earth.
I will destroy the city and those inhabiting it.’
9 Go up, you horses!
Drive madly, you chariots!
Let the warriors advance,
Cush and Put, who handle the shield,+
And the Luʹdim,+ who handle and bend the bow.+
