Jeremiah:46:13-26
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet ,
how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt .
*
Declare ye in Egypt ,
and publish in Migdol ,
and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes :
say ye ,
Stand fast ,
and prepare thee ;
for the sword shall devour round about thee .
*
Why are thy valiant men swept away ?
they stood not ,
because the LORD did drive them .
*
He made many to fall ,
yea ,
one fell upon another :
and they said ,
Arise ,
and let us go again to our own people ,
and to the land of our nativity ,
from the oppressing sword .
*
They did cry there ,
Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise ;
he hath passed the time appointed .
*
As I live ,
saith the King ,
whose name is the LORD of hosts ,
Surely as Tabor is among the mountains ,
and as Carmel by the sea ,
so shall he come .
*
O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt ,
furnish thyself to go into captivity :
for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant .
*
Egypt is like a very fair heifer ,
but destruction cometh ;
it cometh out of the north .
*
Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks ;
for they also are turned back ,
and are fled away together :
they did not stand ,
because the day of their calamity was come upon them ,
and the time of their visitation .
*
The voice thereof shall go like a serpent ;
for they shall march with an army ,
and come against her with axes ,
as hewers of wood .
*
They shall cut down her forest ,
saith the LORD ,
though it cannot be searched ;
because they are more than the grasshoppers ,
and are innumerable .
*
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded ;
she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north .
*
The LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel ,
saith ;
Behold ,
I will punish the multitude of No ,
and Pharaoh ,
and Egypt ,
with their gods ,
and their kings ;
even Pharaoh ,
and all them that trust in him :
*
And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives ,
and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ,
and into the hand of his servants :
and afterward it shall be inhabited ,
as in the days of old ,
saith the LORD .
