Jeremiah 46:16
Compare all
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!’
18 “As I live,” says the King,
aWhose name is the Lord of hosts,
“Surely as Tabor is among the mountains
And as Carmel by the sea, so he shall come.

Jeremiah 46:16

One fell upon another - In their terror and confusion ranks fell on ranks, and overturned each other.

Let us go again to our own people - Let us flee to our own country with all possible speed. These were the auxiliaries.
