Jeremiah 46:13-28

13The wordH1697 that YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, how NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 should comeH935 and smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 14DeclareH5046 ye in EgyptH4714, and publishH8085 in MigdolH4024, and publishH8085 in NophH5297 and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559 ye, Stand fastH3320, and prepareH3559 thee; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398 round aboutH5439 thee. 15Why are thy valiantH47 men swept awayH5502? they stoodH5975 not, because YhwhH3068 did driveH1920 them. 16He made manyH7235 to fallH3782, yea, oneH376 fellH5307 upon anotherH7453: and they saidH559, AriseH6965, and let us go againH7725 to our own peopleH5971, and to the landH776 of our nativityH4138, fromH6440 the oppressingH3238 swordH2719.1 17They did cryH7121 there, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but a noiseH7588; he hath passedH5674 the time appointedH4150. 18As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, Surely as TaborH8396 is among the mountainsH2022, and as CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220, so shall he comeH935. 19O thou daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in EgyptH4714, furnishH6213 thyself to go into captivityH1473H3627: for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341 without an inhabitantH3427.2 20EgyptH4714 is like a very fairH3304 heiferH5697, but destructionH7171 comethH935; it cometh outH935 of the northH6828. 21Also her hired menH7916 are in the midstH7130 of her like fattedH4770 bullocksH5695; for they also are turned backH6437, and are fled awayH5127 togetherH3162: they did not standH5975, because the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 was comeH935 upon them, and the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486.3 22The voiceH6963 thereof shall goH3212 like a serpentH5175; for they shall marchH3212 with an armyH2428, and comeH935 against her with axesH7134, as hewersH2404 of woodH6086. 23They shall cut downH3772 her forestH3293, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, though it cannot be searchedH2713; because they are moreH7231 than the grasshoppersH697, and are innumerableH4557H369. 24The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be confoundedH3001; she shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the northH6828. 25YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saithH559; Behold, I will punishH6485 the multitudeH528H527 of NoH4996, and PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714, with their godsH430, and their kingsH4428; even PharaohH6547, and all them that trustH982 in him:4 26And I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their livesH5315, and into the handH3027 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and into the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931, as in the daysH3117 of oldH6924, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

27But fearH3372 not thou, O my servantH5650 JacobH3290, and be not dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478: for, behold, I will saveH3467 thee from afar offH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725, and be in restH8252 and at easeH7599, and none shall make him afraidH2729. 28FearH3372 thou not, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saithH5002 YhwhH3068: for I am with thee; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256 thee in measureH4941; yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352 unpunishedH5352.5
