Context of Jeremiah 46:19
17There did they cry, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the time appointed go by. 18[As] I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely as Tabor among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. Thou, inhabitress, daughter of Egypt, furnish for thyself a captive's baggage, for Noph shall be a desolation and shall be ruined, so that none shall dwell therein. 20Egypt is a very fair heifer; the gad-fly cometh, it cometh from the north. 21Also her hired men in the midst of her are like fatted bullocks; for they also have turned back, they have fled away together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
