lesserot@Jeremiah:46:6 @ The swift cannot flee away, nor can the mighty man escape: toward the north by the shore of the river Euphrates do they stumble and fall.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:7 @ Who is this that cometh up like a stream, whose waters are upheaved like the rivers?

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:8 @ Egypt cometh up like a stream, and like the rivers are the waters upheaved; and he saith, I will go up, I will cover the land; I will destroy the city and those that dwell therein.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:9 @ Come up, ye horses; and rush along wildly, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: Cush and Put, that grasp the shield, and the Ludim, that grasp and bend the bow.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:10 @ And this same day is for the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, a day of vengeance, to be avenged on his adversaries; that the sword may devour, and may be satiated and made drunken with their blood; for there is a sacrifice for the Lord the Eternal of hosts in the north country by the river Euphrates.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:11 @ Go up into Gilad, and fetch balm, O virgin, daughter of Egypt: in vain usest thou many remedies; there is no recovery for thee.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:15 @ Why are thy valiant men swept away? not one hath stood, because the Lord did drive him off.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:16 @ He caused many to stumble; yea, one also fell over the other; and they said, Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from before the wasting sword.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:17 @ They called out there, Pharaoh is king of Egypt, it was but vaunting, he hath let the time appointed pass by.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:19 @ Appurtenances of exile make for thyself, O thou inhabitress, daughter of Egypt; for Noph shall be made a waste and be left desolate without an inhabitant.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:20 @ O fairest heifer, Egypt! the butcher from the north cometh, he cometh.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:21 @ Also her hired troops in the midst of her are like fatted calves; for they also are turned round, are fled away together, they do not stand; because the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their punishment.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:22 @ Her cry shall come like a serpent; for with an army shall they march, and with axes do they come against her, like hewers of wood.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:23 @ They cut down her forest, saith the Lord, though it cannot be searched out; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and there is no number to them.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:24 @ Ashamed hath been made the daughter of Egypt: she hath been given up into the hand of the people of the north.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:25 @ The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, hath said, Behold, I will send visitation on Ahmon of No, and on Pharaoh, and on Egypt, and on her gods, and on her kings; even on Pharaoh, and on those that trust on him;

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:26 @ And I will give them up into the hand of those that seek their life, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward shall she be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:27 @ But thou,fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel; for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and he shall be at rest and at ease, with none to make him afraid.

lesserot@Jeremiah:46:28 @ Thou,fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the Lord; for I am with thee: and although I make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, yet of thee will I not make a full end; and I will correct thee in measure; yet wholly will I not leave thee unpunished.

lesserot@Jeremiah:47:3 @ Because of the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his studhorses, because of the rushing sound of his chariots, the rumbling of his wheels, fathers do not turn round to their children from their feebleness of hands;

lesserot@Jeremiah:47:4 @ Because of the day that cometh to devastate all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth; for the Lord devastateth the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphthor.

lesserot@Jeremiah:47:5 @ Baldness is come upon Gazzah; ruined is Ashkelon with the remnant of their valley: how long yet wilt thou cut thyself?

lesserot@Jeremiah:47:6 @ Woe! thou sword of the Lord, how long yet wilt thou not be quiet? withdraw thyself into thy scabbard, take thee rest, and be still.

lesserot@Jeremiah:47:7 @ Yet how canst thou be quiet? When the Lord hath given it a charge, against Ashkelon, and against the seacoastthither hath he destined it.

lesserot@Jeremiah:48:1 @ Against Moab. Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Woe unto Nebo! for it is wasted; made ashamed, captured is Kiryathayim; made ashamed is Misgab and dismayed.
