Jeremiah 46:14-28

14“DeclareH5046 in EgyptH4714 and proclaimH8085 in 1MigdolH4024, ProclaimH8085 also in MemphisH5297 and 2TahpanhesH8471; SayH559, ‘TakeH3320 your standH3320 and getH3559 yourself readyH3559, For the 3swordH2719 has devouredH398 those aroundH5439 you.’15WhyH4069 have your 4powerfulH47 onesH47 been cutH5502 downH5502? They do not standH5975 becauseH3588 the LordH3068 has 5thrustH1920 them awayH1920.16They have repeatedlyH7235 6stumbledH3782; IndeedH1571, they have fallenH5307, oneH376 againstH413 anotherH7453. Then they saidH559, ‘GetH6965 upH6965, and 7let’s goH7725 backH7725 To our own peopleH5971 and our nativeH4138 landH776, Away from the 89swordH2719 of the oppressorH3238!’1710They shoutedH7121 thereH8033, ‘PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is nothing but 11a bigH7588 noiseH7588; He has let the appointedH4150 timeH4150 passH5674 byH5674!’18As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the 12KingH4428, Whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068 of armiesH6635, “One certainlyH3588 shall comeH935 who is like 13TaborH8396 among the mountainsH2022, Or like 14CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220.19MakeH6213 your baggageH3627 ready for 15exileH1473, 16DaughterH1323 livingH3427 in EgyptH4714, For 17MemphisH5297 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8047; It will be destroyedH3341 and 18deprivedH4480H369 of inhabitantsH3427.20EgyptH4714 is a prettyH3304 19heiferH5697, But a 20horseflyH7171 is comingH935 21from the northH6828--it is comingH935!21AlsoH1571 her 22mercenariesH7917 in her midstH7130 Are like fattenedH4770 23calvesH5695, For they tooH1571 have turnedH6437 awayH6437 and have fledH5127 togetherH3164; They did not standH5975 their ground. For the dayH3117 of their disasterH343 has comeH935 upon them, The timeH6256 of their 24punishmentH6486.22Its soundH6963 movesH1980 along like a serpentH5175; For they moveH1980 on 25like an armyH2428 And comeH935 to her as woodcuttersH2404 with axesH7134.23They have cutH3772 downH3772 her 26forestH3293,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068; “CertainlyH3588 it will noH3808 longer be foundH2713, Even thoughH3588 27they areH7231 moreH4480 numerousH7231 thanH4480 28locustsH697 And are withoutH369 numberH4557.24The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 has been putH954 toH954 shameH954, TurnedH5414 overH5414 to the 29powerH3027 of the 30peopleH5971 of the northH6828.”

25The LordH3068 of armiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, I am going to punishH6485 AmonH528 of 31ThebesH4996, and 32PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714 along with her 33godsH430 and her kingsH4428, indeed, PharaohH6547 and those who 34trustH982 in him. 26I shall handH5414H3027 them overH5414 to those who are 35seekingH1245 their livesH5315, that is, to NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 and to his 36officersH5650. 37AfterwardH310H3651, however, it will be inhabitedH7931 as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

27“But as for you, JacobH3290 My servantH5650, 38do not fearH3372, NorH408 be dismayedH2865, IsraelH3478! For, seeH2009, I am going to 39saveH3467 you from farH7350 awayH7350, And your descendantsH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; And JacobH3290 will returnH7725 and beH8252 40undisturbedH8252 And secureH7599, with noH369 oneH369 making him afraidH2729.28JacobH3290 My servantH5650, do not fearH3372,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “For 41I am with you. For I will makeH6213 a completeH3617 destructionH3617 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 WhereH834H8033 I have drivenH5080 you, Yet I will 42not makeH6213 a completeH3617 destructionH3617 of you; But I will 43correctH3256 you properlyH4941 And byH5352 noH3808 meansH5352 leaveH5352 you unpunishedH5352.”
