JER-46:1 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet
against the Gentiles;
JER-46:2 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king 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.
JER-46:3 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to
battle.
JER-46:4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand
forth with [your] helmets; furbish the spears, [and] put on the
brigandines.
JER-46:5 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.
JER-46:6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape;
they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river
Euphrates.
JER-46:7 Who [is] this [that] cometh up as a flood, whose waters
are moved as the rivers?
JER-46:8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, 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.
JER-46:9 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.
JER-46:10 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.
JER-46:11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the
daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; [for]
thou shalt not be cured.
JER-46:12 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.
JER-46:13 The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet,
how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come [and] smite the
land of Egypt.
JER-46:14 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.
JER-46:15 Why are thy valiant [men] swept away? they stood not,
because the LORD did drive them.
JER-46:16 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.
JER-46:17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt [is but] a
noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
JER-46:18 [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.
JER-46:19 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to
go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without
an inhabitant.
JER-46:20 Egypt [is like] a very fair heifer, [but] destruction
cometh; it cometh out of the north.
JER-46:21 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.
JER-46:22 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.
JER-46:23 They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though
it cannot be searched; because they are more than the
grasshoppers, and [are] innumerable.
JER-46:24 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall
be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
JER-46:25 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:
JER-46:26 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.
JER-46:27 But fear not thou, 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 be in rest and at ease, and none shall make [him]
afraid.
JER-46:28 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.
