Jeremiah 46:10

A day of avenging, to avenge him of his adversaries, When the sword shall devour and be filled, and be sated with their blood,—For, a sacrifice, hath My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, In the land of the North Towards the river Euphrates.

For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
