Jeremiah 46:15

Babylonia Will Strike Egypt

13 The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon would come and ^astrike the land of Egypt.

14 “Declare in Egypt, and proclaim in¹ ^aMigdol;
Proclaim in Noph and in ^bTahpanhes;
Say, ‘Stand fast and prepare yourselves,
For the sword devours all around you.’

15 Why are your valiant men swept away?
They did not stand
Because the Lord drove them away.

16 He made many fall;
Yes, ^aone fell upon another.
And they said, ‘Arise!
^bLet us go back to our own people
And to the land of our nativity
From the oppressing sword.’

17 They cried there,
‘Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is but a noise.
He has passed by the appointed time!’

They stood not, because the Lord did drive them - The Lord panic-struck them, and drove them back.
