Jeremiah 46:13–26

^13*The word that the Lord spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how ^gNebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.

¹⁴Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in ^hMigdol,

And publish in ⁱNoph and in ^kTahpanhes:

Say ye, ^lStand fast, and prepare thee;

For ^mthe sword shall devour round about thee.

¹⁵Why are thy ⁿvaliant men ^oswept away?

They stood not, because the Lord did drive them.

^16fHe ^†made many to fall,

^fpYea, one fell upon another:

And they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people,

And to the land of our nativity,

^qFrom the oppressing sword.

¹⁷They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but ^ra noise;

^sHe hath passed the time appointed.

^18tAs I live, ^usaith the King,

^uvWhose name is the Lord of hosts,

Surely as ^wTabor is among the mountains,

And as ^xCarmel by the sea, so shall he come.

¹⁹O ^ythou daughter dwelling in Egypt,

^†Furnish thyself ^zto go into captivity:

For ⁱNoph ^ashall be waste

And desolate ^bwithout an inhabitant.

²⁰Egypt is like a very fair ^cheifer,

But destruction cometh; it cometh ^dout of the north.

²¹Also ^eher hired men are in the midst of her like ^†fatted bullocks;

For they also ^fare turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand,

Because ^ghthe day of their calamity was come upon them, and ^hthe time ⁱof their visitation.

^22kThe voice thereof shall go ^llike a serpent;

For they shall march with an army,

And come against her with axes, ^mas hewers of wood.

^23mThey shall cut down her forest, saith the Lord,

Though ⁿit cannot be searched;

Because they are more than ^othe grasshoppers,

And are innumerable.

²⁴The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded;

She shall be delivered into the hand of the people of ^dthe north.

²⁵The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saith;

Behold, I will punish the ^||†emultitude of ^fNo,

And Pharaoh, and Egypt, ^gwith their gods, and their kings;

Even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:

²⁶And ^hI will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives,

And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,

And into the hand of his servants:

And ⁱafterward it shall be inhabited,

As in ^kthe days of old, saith the Lord.
