Jeremiah 46:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 46:24

22 ^aHer noise shall go like a serpent,
For they shall march with an army
And come against her with axes,
Like those who chop wood.

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 “But^a 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.

28 Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,” says the Lord,
“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.”
