Jeremiah 46:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 46:14

12 The nations have heard of your ^ashame,
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

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!’

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.
