* The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles ; * Against Egypt , against the army of Pharaohnecho Par #ohking of Egypt , which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish , which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah . * Order ye the buckler and shield , and draw near to battle . * Harness the horses ; and get up , ye horsemen , and stand forth with your helmets ; furbish the spears , and put on the brigandines . * Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back ? and their mighty ones are beaten down , and are fled apace , and look not back : for fear was round about , saith the LORD . * Let not the swift flee away , nor the mighty man escape ; they shall stumble , and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates . * Who is this that cometh up as a flood y @#or #, whose waters are moved as the rivers ? * Egypt riseth up like a flood y @#or #, and his waters are moved like the rivers ; and he saith , I will go up , and will cover the earth ; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof . * Come up , ye horses ; and rage , ye chariots ; and let the mighty men come forth ; the Ethiopians and the Libyans , that handle the shield ; and the Lydians , that handle and bend the bow . * For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts , a day of vengeance , that he may avenge him of his adversaries : and the sword shall devour , and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood : for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates . * Go up into Gilead Gil #ad #, and take balm , O virgin , the daughter of Egypt : in vain shalt thou use many medicines r @phu #ah #; for thou shalt not be cured t @#alah #. * The nations have heard of thy shame , and thy cry hath filled the land : for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty , and they are fallen both together . * 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 H 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 sha #own #; he hath passed the time appointed mow #ed #. * 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 k @liy #: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant . * Egypt is like a very fair y @pheh-phiyah # 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 ya #ar #, saith the LORD , though it cannot be searched ; because they are more than the grasshoppers , and are innumerable #H4557 . * 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 Yisra #el #, saith ; Behold , I will punish the multitude # of No , and Pharaoh Par #oh #, and Egypt , with their gods , and their kings ; even Pharaoh Par #oh #, 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 . * But fear not thou , O my servant Jacob Ya #aqob #, and be not dismayed , O Israel Yisra #el #: for , behold , I will save thee from afar off , and thy seed from the land of their captivity ; and Jacob shall return , and be in rest and at ease , and none shall make him afraid . * Fear thou not , O Jacob my servant , saith the LORD : for I am with thee ; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee : but I will not make a full end of thee , but correct thee in measure ; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished .
