Jeremiah 46:13-28

13This is the 1messageH1697 whichH834 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 about the 2comingH935 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 to 3smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714:14“DeclareH5046 in EgyptH4714 and proclaimH8085 in 4MigdolH4024, ProclaimH8085 also in MemphisH5297 and 5TahpanhesH8471; SayH559, ‘TakeH3320 your standH3320 and getH3559 yourself readyH3559, For the 6swordH2719 has devouredH398 those aroundH5439 you.’15WhyH4069 have your 7mightyH47 onesH47 becomeH5502 prostrateH5502? They do not standH5975 becauseH3588 the LordH3068 has 8thrustH1920 them downH1920.16They have repeatedlyH7235 9stumbledH3782; IndeedH1571, they have fallenH5307 oneH376 againstH413 anotherH7453. Then they saidH559, ‘GetH6965 up! And 10let us goH7725 backH7725 To our own peopleH5971 and our nativeH4138 landH776 Away from the 1112swordH2719 of the oppressorH3238.’1713They criedH7121 thereH8033, ‘PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but 14a bigH7588 noiseH7588; He has let the appointedH4150 timeH4150 passH5674 by!’18As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the 15KingH4428 Whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068 of hostsH6635, “SurelyH3588 one shall comeH935 who looms up like 16TaborH8396 among the mountainsH2022, Or like 17CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220.19MakeH6213 your baggageH3627 readyH6213 for 18exileH1473, O 19daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in EgyptH4714, For 20MemphisH5297 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8047; It will even be burnedH3341 downH3341 and 21bereftH4480H369 of inhabitantsH3427.20EgyptH4714 is a prettyH3304 22heiferH5697, But a 23horseflyH7171 is comingH935 24from the northH6828--it is comingH935!21AlsoH1571 her 25mercenariesH7917 in her midstH7130 Are like 26fattenedH4770 27calvesH5695, 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 28punishmentH6486.22Its soundH6963 movesH1980 along like a serpentH5175; For they moveH1980 on 29like an armyH2428 And comeH935 to her as woodcuttersH2404 with axesH7134.23They have cutH3772 downH3772 her 30forestH3293,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068; “SurelyH3588 it will noH3808 more be foundH2713, Even thoughH3588 31they are now moreH4480 numerousH7231 thanH4480 32locustsH697 And are withoutH369 numberH4557.24The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 has beenH954 putH954 to shameH954, GivenH5414 over to the 33powerH3027 of the 34peopleH5971 of the northH6828.”

25The LordH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559, “BeholdH2009, I am going to punishH6485 AmonH528 of 35ThebesH4996, and 36PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714 along with her 37godsH430 and her kingsH4428, even PharaohH6547 and those who 38trustH982 in him. 26I shall giveH5414 them over to the 39powerH3027 of those who are 40seekingH1245 their livesH5315, even into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and into the handH3027 of his 41officersH5650. 42AfterwardsH310H3651, however, it will be inhabitedH7931 as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

27“But as for you, O JacobH3290 My servantH5650, 43do not fearH3372, NorH408 be dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478! For, seeH2009, I am going to 44saveH3467 you from afarH7350, And your descendantsH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; And JacobH3290 will returnH7725 and be 45undisturbedH8252 And secureH7599, with noH369 oneH369 making him trembleH2729.28O JacobH3290 My servantH5650, do not fearH3372,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “For 46I am with you. For I will makeH6213 a fullH3617 endH3617 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 WhereH834H8033 I have drivenH5080 you, Yet I will 47not makeH6213 a fullH3617 endH3617 of you; But I will 48correctH3256 you properlyH4941 And by noH3808 meansH5352 leaveH5352 you unpunishedH5352.”
