Jeremiah 46
Revised Version 1895
1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 concerning the nationsH1471. 2Of EgyptH4714: concerning the armyH2428 of Pharaoh-neco, kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, whichH834 was by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 in CarchemishH3751, whichH834 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977, kingH4428 of JudahH3063. 3Order ye the bucklerH4043 and shieldH4043, and drawH5066 nearH5066 to battleH4421. 4HarnessH631 the horsesH5483, and getH5927 upH5927, ye horsemenH6571, and standH3320 forthH3320 with your helmetsH3553; furbish the spearsH7420, putH3847 on the coats of mail. 5Wherefore have I seenH7200 it? they are dismayed and are turnedH6437 backwardH268; and their mightyH1368 onesH1368 are beaten downH3807, and are fledH5127 apace, and lookH7200 notH3808 backH268: terrorH4032 is on everyH5439 sideH5439, saith the LORDH3068. 6LetH408 notH408 the swiftH7031 fleeH5127 awayH5307, norH408 the mightyH1368 manH1368 escapeH4422; in the northH6828 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 have they stumbledH3782, and fallenH5307. 7Who is this that riseth upH5927 like the NileH2975, whoseH4310 watersH4325 tossH1607 themselves like the riversH5104? 8EgyptH4714 riseth upH5927 like the NileH2975, and his watersH4325 tossH1607 themselves like the riversH5104: and he saith, I will riseH5927 upH5927, I will coverH3680 the earthH776; I will destroyH6 the cityH5892 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. 9GoH3318 upH5927, ye horsesH5483; and rage, ye chariotsH7393; and let the mightyH1368 menH1368 goH3318 forthH3318: CushH3568 and PutH6316, that handleH8610 the shieldH4043; and the LudimH3866, that handleH8610 and bendH1869 the bowH7198. 10For that dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of the LordH136, the LORDH136 of hostsH6635, a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5360, that he may avengeH5358 him of his adversaries: and the swordH2719 shall devourH398 and be satiate, and shall drinkH7301 itsH398 fillH7301 of their bloodH1818: for the LordH136, the LORDH136 of hostsH6635, hath a sacrificeH2077 in the northH6828 countryH776 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578. 11GoH5927 upH5927 intoH4714 GileadH1568, and takeH3947 balmH6875, O virginH1330 daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714: in vainH7723 dost thou useH3947 manyH7235 medicines; there is noH369 healingH7499 for thee. 12The nationsH1471 have heardH8085 of thy shameH7036, and the earthH776 is fullH4390 of thy cryH6682: for the mightyH1368 manH1368 hath stumbledH3782 against the mightyH1368, they are fallenH5307 bothH8147 of them togetherH3162. 13The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spake to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, howH834 that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 should comeH935 and smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 14DeclareH5046 ye in EgyptH4714, and publish in MigdolH4024, and publish in Noph and in TahpanhesH8471: sayH559 ye, standH3320 forthH3320, and prepareH3559 thee; for the swordH2719 hath devouredH398 roundH5439 aboutH5439 thee. 15WhyH4069 are thy strongH47 onesH47 swept awayH1920? they stoodH5975 notH3808, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 didH3808 drive them. 16He madeH7725 manyH7235 to stumbleH3782, yea, they fellH5307 one uponH413 anotherH7453: and they saidH559, AriseH6965, and let usH413 goH7725 againH7725 to our ownH376 peopleH5971, and to the landH776 of our nativity, from the oppressingH3238 swordH2719. 17They criedH7121 there, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but a noiseH7588; he hath let the appointedH4150 time passH5674 by. 18As I liveH2416, saith the KingH4428, whoseH8034 nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, surelyH3588 like TaborH8396 among the mountainsH2022, and like CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220, soH935 shall he comeH935. 19O thou daughterH1323 that dwellest in EgyptH4714, furnish thyself to goH1961 intoH4714 captivity: for Noph shall becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, and shall be burnt upH1961, withoutH369 inhabitantH3427. 20EgyptH4714 is a very fair heiferH5697; but destruction outH935 of the northH6828 is comeH935, it is comeH935. 21Also herH5921 hiredH7916 men in the midstH7130 of herH5921 are like calvesH5695 of the stallH4770; for they also are turnedH6437 backH6437, they are fledH5127 awayH5127 togetherH3162, they didH3808 notH3808 standH5975: for the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 is comeH935 uponH5921 them, the time of their visitation. 22The soundH6963 thereof shall goH935 like the serpentH5175; for they shall march with an armyH2428, and comeH935 againstH935 herH935 with axesH7134, as hewersH2404 of woodH6086. 23They shall cutH3772 downH3772 herH3772 forestH3293, saith the LORDH3068, thoughH3588 it cannotH3808 be searchedH2713; becauseH3588 they are moreH369 thanH3808 the locustsH697, and are innumerableH4557. 24The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be putH5414 to shame; she shall be deliveredH5414 intoH4714 the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the northH6828. 25The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saith: BeholdH2005, I will punishH6485 AmonH528 of No, and PharaohH6547, and EgyptH4714, with herH413 godsH430, and herH413 kingsH4428; evenH4714 PharaohH6547, and them that trustH982 in him: 26and I will deliverH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of thoseH310 that seekH1245 their livesH5315, and intoH3027 the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and intoH3027 the handH3027 of his servantsH5650: and afterwardsH310 it shall be inhabitedH7931, as in the daysH3117 of old, saith the LORDH3068. 27But fearH3372 notH369 thou, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, neitherH369 be dismayedH2865, O IsraelH3478: for, lowH776, I will saveH3467 thee from afarH7350, and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivityH7628; and JacobH3290 shall returnH7725, and shall be quietH8252 and at easeH7599, and noneH369 shall makeH2729 him afraidH3372. 28FearH3372 notH3808 thou, O JacobH3290 my servantH5650, saith the LORDH3068; for I am with thee: for I will makeH6213 a fullH3605 endH3617 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080 thee, but I will notH3808 makeH6213 a fullH3605 endH3617 of thee; but I will correctH3256 thee with judgmentH4941, and will in noH3808 wise leaveH5352 thee unpunishedH5352.
