1That whichH834 cameH1961 as the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 1concerningH5921 the nationsH1471.

2To 2EgyptH4714, concerningH5921 the armyH2428 of 3PharaohH6549 NecoH6549 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, whichH834 was by the EuphratesH6578 RiverH5104 at 4CarchemishH3751, whichH834 NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 defeatedH5221 in the 5fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063:3“6LineH6186 up the shieldH4043 and 7bucklerH6793, And drawH5066 nearH5066 for the battleH4421!4HarnessH631 the horsesH5483, And 8mountH5927 the steedsH6571, And takeH3320 your standH3320 with helmetsH3553 on! 9PolishH4838 the spearsH7420, PutH3847 on the 10scale-armorH5630!5WhyH4069 have I seenH7200 it? They are terrifiedH2844, They are 11drawingH5472 backH268, And their 12mightyH1368 menH1368 are defeatedH3807 And have takenH5127 refugeH5127 in flightH4498, WithoutH3808 facingH6437 backH6437; 1314TerrorH4032 is on everyH5439 sideH5439!” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.6Let not the 15swiftH7031 manH7031 fleeH5127, NorH408 the mightyH1368 manH1368 escapeH4422; In the northH6828 besideH5921H3027 the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 They have 16stumbledH3782 and fallenH5307.7WhoH4310 is thisH2088 that 17risesH5927 like the NileH2975, Like the riversH5104 whose watersH4325 surgeH1607 about?8EgyptH4714 risesH5927 like the NileH2975, Even like the riversH5104 whose watersH4325 surgeH1607 about; And He has saidH559, “I will 18riseH5927 and coverH3680 that landH776; I will surely 19destroyH6 the cityH5892 and its inhabitantsH3427.”9GoH5927 up, you horsesH5483, and 2021driveH1984 madlyH1984, you chariotsH7393, That the mightyH1368 menH1368 may 22marchH3318 forwardH3318: EthiopiaH3568 and 2324PutH6316, that handleH8610 the shieldH4043, And the 2526LydiansH3866, that handleH8610 and bendH1869 the bowH7198.10For 27that dayH3117 belongs to the LordH136 28GodH3068 of hostsH6635, A dayH3117 of 29vengeanceH5360, so as to avengeH5358 Himself on His foesH6862; And the 30swordH2719 will devourH398 and be satiatedH7646 And 31drinkH7301 its fillH7301 of their bloodH1818; For there will be a 32slaughterH2077 for the LordH136 33GodH3068 of hostsH6635, In the landH776 of the northH6828 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.11GoH5927 34up to GileadH1568 and obtainH3947 balmH6875, 35O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714! In vainH7723 have you multipliedH7235 36remediesH7499; ThereH369 is 37noH369 healingH8585 for you.12The nationsH1471 have heardH8085 of your 38shameH7036, And the earthH776 is fullH4390 of your 39cryH6682 of distress; For one 40warriorH1368 has stumbledH3782 over 41anotherH1368, And bothH8147 of them have fallenH5307 downH5307 togetherH3164.

13This is the 42messageH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 about the 43comingH935 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to 44smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714:14“DeclareH5046 in EgyptH4714 and proclaimH8085 in 45MigdolH4024, ProclaimH8085 also in MemphisH5297 and 46TahpanhesH8471; SayH559, ‘TakeH3320 your standH3320 and getH3559 yourself readyH3559, For the 47swordH2719 has devouredH398 those aroundH5439 you.’15WhyH4069 have your 48mightyH47 onesH47 becomeH5502 prostrateH5502? They do not standH5975 becauseH3588 the LordH3068 has 49thrustH1920 them downH1920.16They have repeatedlyH7235 50stumbledH3782; IndeedH1571, they have fallenH5307 oneH376 againstH413 anotherH7453. Then they saidH559, ‘GetH6965 up! And 51let us goH7725 backH7725 To our own peopleH5971 and our nativeH4138 landH776 Away from the 5253swordH2719 of the oppressorH3238.’1754They criedH7121 thereH8033, ‘PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but 55a bigH7588 noiseH7588; He has let the appointedH4150 timeH4150 passH5674 by!’18As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the 56KingH4428 Whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “SurelyH3588 one shall comeH935 who looms up like 57TaborH8396 among the mountainsH2022, Or like 58CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220.19MakeH6213 your baggageH3627 readyH6213 for 59exileH1473, O 60daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in EgyptH4714, For 61MemphisH5297 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8047; It will even be burnedH3341 downH3341 and 62bereftH4480H369 of inhabitantsH3427.20EgyptH4714 is a prettyH3304 63heiferH5697, But a 64horseflyH7171 is comingH935 65from the northH6828--it is comingH935!21AlsoH1571 her 66mercenariesH7917 in her midstH7130 Are like 67fattenedH4770 68calvesH5695, For evenH1571 they tooH1571 have turnedH6437 backH6437 and have fledH5127 away togetherH3164; They did not standH5975 their ground. For the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 has comeH935 upon them, The timeH6256 of their 69punishmentH6486.22Its soundH6963 movesH1980 along like a serpentH5175; For they moveH1980 on 70like an armyH2428 And comeH935 to her as woodcuttersH2404 with axesH7134.23They have cutH3772 downH3772 her 71forestH3293,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068; “SurelyH3588 it will noH3808 more be foundH2713, Even thoughH3588 72they are now moreH4480 numerousH7231 thanH4480 73locustsH697 And are withoutH369 numberH4557.24The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 has beenH954 putH954 to shameH954, GivenH5414 over to the 74powerH3027 of the 75peopleH5971 of the northH6828.”

25The LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559, “BeholdH2009, I am going to punishH6485 AmonH528 of 76ThebesH4996, and 77PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714 along with her 78godsH430 and her kingsH4428, even PharaohH6547 and those who 79trustH982 in him. 26I shall giveH5414 them over to the 80powerH3027 of those who are 81seekingH1245 their livesH5315, even into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and into the handH3027 of his 82officersH5650. 83AfterwardsH310H3651, however, it will be inhabitedH7931 as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

27“But as for you, O JacobH3290 My servantH5650, 84do not fearH3372, NorH408 be dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478! For, seeH2009, I am going to 85saveH3467 you from afarH7350, And your descendantsH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; And JacobH3290 will returnH7725 and be 86undisturbedH8252 And secureH7599, with noH369 oneH369 making him trembleH2729.28O JacobH3290 My servantH5650, do not fearH3372,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “For 87I am with you. For I will makeH6213 a fullH3617 endH3617 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 WhereH834H8033 I have drivenH5080 you, Yet I will 88not makeH6213 a fullH3617 endH3617 of you; But I will 89correctH3256 you properlyH4941 And by noH3808 meansH5352 leaveH5352 you unpunishedH5352.”
