Context of Jeremiah 46:19

17When they get back home, they will say, “The king of Egypt is only a loud noise. He could not win when he had the chance.” ’ 18The Lord Almighty is the great King. He says, ‘I promise you, as surely as I live, that a powerful army will come to fight against you! They will look as great as Tabor looks among the other mountains. They will seem like Carmel mountain that stands beside the sea. You dear people of Egypt, be ready to travel as prisoners to a foreign land! Your enemy will destroy Memphis city. It will become a heap of stones where nobody lives. 20Egypt is like a beautiful young cow. But an army from the north will attack her, like a crowd of flies that bite. 21Egypt has paid soldiers from other countries to help her. But they are like fat calves that are too weak to fight. They will not stand and fight, but they will turn and run away. Yes, the day of Egypt's punishment has arrived! Their enemy has come to destroy them.
