Context of Jeremiah 46:13

11“Go up to Gilead and get balm, Virgin Daughter Egypt. But you try many medicines in vain; there is no healing for you. 12The nations will hear of your shame; your cries will fill the earth. One warrior will stumble over another; both will fall down together.” This is the message the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to attack Egypt: 14“Announce this in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it also in Memphis and Tahpanhes: ‘Take your positions and get ready, for the sword devours those around you.’ 15Why will your warriors be laid low? They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.
