bO virgin, the daughter of Egypt;
In vain you will use many medicines;
cYou shall not be cured.
And your cry has filled the land;
For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty;
They both have fallen together.”
Babylonia Will Strike Egypt
Proclaim in Noph and in bTahpanhes;
Say, ‘Stand fast and prepare yourselves,
For the sword devours all around you.’
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.’
aWhose name is the Lord of hosts,
“Surely as Tabor is among the mountains
And as Carmel by the sea, so he shall come.
Prepare yourself bto go into captivity!
For1 Noph shall be waste and desolate, without inhabitant.
For they also are turned back,
They have fled away together.
They did not stand,
For athe day of their calamity had come upon them,
The time of their punishment.
For they shall march with an army
And come against her with axes,
Like those who chop wood.
“Though it cannot be searched,
Because they are innumerable,
And more numerous than bgrasshoppers.
She shall be delivered into the hand
Of athe people of the north.”
God Will Preserve Israel
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.
“For I am with you;
For I will make a complete end of all the nations
To which I have driven you,
But I will not make aa complete end of you.
I will rightly bcorrect you,
For I will not leave you wholly unpunished.”

Jeremiah 46:13
A new prophecy, foretelling the successful invasion of Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar, has been appended to the hymn of triumph, because they both relate to the same kingdom. This prophecy was probably spoken in Egypt to warn the Jews there, that the country which they were so obstinately determined to make their refuge would share the fate of their native land.
How ... should come - Or, concerning the coming "of Nebuchadrezzar."
