Jeremiah 46:15–17

15  Why are your mighty ones face down?

They do not stand1

because the Lord thrust them down.

16  He made many stumble, fand they fell,

and they said one to another,

‘Arise, and let us go back to our own people

and to the land of our birth,

gbecause of the sword of the oppressor.’

17  Call the name of hPharaoh, king of Egypt,

‘Noisy one who lets the hour go by.’
