Jeremiah 46:15-24
-
15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
-
16 He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
-
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
-
18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
-
19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
-
20 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
-
21 Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
-
22 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
-
23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
-
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
