Context of Jeremiah 46:13

11Dear people of Egypt, go to Gilead and find medicine to make you well. But that will not help you. There is no medicine that will make you better. 12The other nations will see that you are ashamed. All over the earth, people will hear you as you weep. As your soldiers run from the battle, they will fall over each other. They will fall to the ground together.’ The Lord gave this message to the prophet Jeremiah about King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He said that Nebuchadnezzar would come to attack Egypt. 14‘Shout this message everywhere in Egypt. Let people hear it in Migdol, Memphis and in Tahpanhes. “Get ready to fight against your enemies! They are already killing the people all around you.” 15Your brave soldiers will fall. They will lie flat on the ground. They cannot stand and fight because the Lord will knock them down.
