Context of Jeremiah 46:13

11Go up into Gilead and get balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt. In vain you use many medicines— there is no cure for you. 12Nations have heard of your shame, and your outcry fills the earth. For warrior stumbles over warrior— both fall down together.” The word that Adonai spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to strike the land of Egypt: 14“Declare it in Egypt, proclaim in Migdol, and announce in Noph and Tahpanhes. Say: ‘Stand up and get ready! For the sword has devoured all around you. 15Why are your strong ones swept away? They did not stand up, because Adonai thrust him down.
