Context of Jeremiah 46:19

17There they will say, ‘Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, is a loudmouth who missed his opportunity!’ 18“As surely as I live,” says the King, whose name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, “one is coming against Egypt who is as tall as Mount Tabor, or as Mount Carmel by the sea! Pack up! Get ready to leave for exile, you citizens of Egypt! The city of Memphis will be destroyed, without a single inhabitant. 20Egypt is as sleek as a beautiful heifer, but a horsefly from the north is on its way! 21Egypt’s mercenaries have become like fattened calves. They, too, will turn and run, for it is a day of great disaster for Egypt, a time of great punishment.
