Compare all
23 “They shall acut down her forest,” says the Lord,
“Though it cannot be searched,
Because they are innumerable,
And more numerous than bgrasshoppers. 
24 The daughter of Egypt shall be ashamed;
She shall be delivered into the hand
Of athe people of the north.”  
25 The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will bring punishment on1 Amon of aNo, and Pharaoh and Egypt, bwith their gods and their kings—Pharaoh and those who ctrust in him.  
26 aAnd I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and the hand of his servants. bAfterward it shall be inhabited as in the days of old,” says the Lord. 

God Will Preserve Israel

27 “Buta do not fear, O My servant Jacob,
And do not be dismayed, O Israel!
For behold, I will bsave you from afar,
And your offspring from the land of their captivity;
Jacob shall return, have rest and be at ease;
No one shall make him afraid.

Jeremiah 46:1-28

The defeat of the Egyptians. (1-12) Their overthrow after the siege of Tyre. (13-26) A promise of comfort to the Jews. (27,28)

Verses 1-12 The whole word of God is against those who obey not the gospel of Christ; but it is for those, even of the Gentiles, who turn to Him. The prophecy begins with Egypt. Let them strengthen themselves with all the art and interest they have, yet it shall be all in vain. The wounds God inflicts on his enemies, cannot be healed by medicines. Power and prosperity soon pass from one to another in this changing world.

Verses 13-28 Those who encroached on others, shall now be themselves encroached on. Egypt is now like a very fair heifer, not accustomed to the yoke of subjection; but destruction comes out of the north: the Chaldeans shall come. Comfort and peace are spoken to the Israel of God, designed to encourage them when the judgments of God were abroad among the nations. He will be with them, and only correct them in measure; and will not punish them with everlasting destruction from his presence.
