That which
came
as the word
of the LORD
to Jeremiah
the prophet
concerning
the nations.
2
To Egypt,
concerning
the army
of Pharaoh Neco
king
of Egypt,
which
was by the Euphrates
River
at Carchemish,
which
Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon
defeated
in the fourth
year
of Jehoiakim
the son
of Josiah,
king
of Judah:
3
"Line
up the shield
and buckler,
And draw near
for the battle!
4
"Harness
the horses,
And mount
the steeds,
And take your stand
with helmets
on! Polish
the spears,
Put
on the scale-armor!
5
"Why
have I seen
it? They are terrified,
They are drawing
back,
And their mighty men
are defeated
And have taken refuge
in flight,
Without
facing back;
Terror
is on every side!"
Declares
the LORD.
6
Let not the swift man
flee,
Nor
the mighty man
escape;
In the north
beside
the river
Euphrates
They have stumbled
and fallen.
7
Who
is this
that rises
like the Nile,
Like the rivers
whose waters
surge
about?
8
Egypt
rises
like the Nile,
Even like the rivers
whose waters
surge
about; And He has said,
"I will rise
and cover
that land;
I will surely destroy
the city
and its inhabitants."
9
Go
up, you horses,
and drive madly,
you chariots,
That the mighty men
may march forward:
Ethiopia
and Put,
that handle
the shield,
And the Lydians,
that handle
and bend
the bow.
10
For that day
belongs to the Lord
GOD
of hosts,
A day
of vengeance,
so as to avenge
Himself on His foes;
And the sword
will devour
and be satiated
And drink its fill
of their blood;
For there will be a slaughter
for the Lord
GOD
of hosts,
In the land
of the north
by the river
Euphrates.
11
Go
up to Gilead
and obtain
balm,
O virgin
daughter
of Egypt!
In vain
have you multiplied
remedies;
There is no
healing
for you.
12
The nations
have heard
of your shame,
And the earth
is full
of your cry
of distress; For one warrior
has stumbled
over another,
And both
of them have fallen down
together.
13
This is the message
which
the LORD
spoke
to Jeremiah
the prophet
about the coming
of Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon
to smite
the land
of Egypt:
14
"Declare
in Egypt
and proclaim
in Migdol,
Proclaim
also in Memphis
and Tahpanhes;
Say,
'Take your stand
and get yourself ready,
For the sword
has devoured
those around
you.'
15
"Why
have your mighty ones
become prostrate?
They do not stand
because
the LORD
has thrust them down.
16
"They have repeatedly
stumbled;
Indeed,
they have fallen
one
against
another.
Then they said,
'Get
up! And let us go back
To our own people
and our native
land
Away from the sword
of the oppressor.'
17
"They cried
there,
'Pharaoh
king
of Egypt
is but a big noise;
He has let the appointed time
pass
by!'
18
"As I live,"
declares
the King
Whose name
is the LORD
of hosts,
"Surely
one shall come
who looms up like Tabor
among the mountains,
Or like Carmel
by the sea.
19
"Make
your baggage
ready
for exile,
O daughter
dwelling
in Egypt,
For Memphis
will become
a desolation;
It will even be burned down
and bereft
of inhabitants.
20
"Egypt
is a pretty
heifer,
But a horsefly
is coming
from the north--
it
is coming
!
21
"Also
her mercenaries
in her midst
Are like fattened
calves,
For even they too
have turned back
and have fled
away together;
They did not stand
their ground. For the day
of their calamity
has come
upon them, The time
of their punishment.
22
"Its sound
moves
along like a serpent;
For they move
on like an army
And come
to her as woodcutters
with axes.
23
"They have cut down
her forest,"
declares
the LORD;
"Surely
it will no
more be found,
Even though
they are now more
numerous
than
locusts
And are without
number.
24
"The daughter
of Egypt
has been put to shame,
Given
over to the power
of the people
of the north."
25
The LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
says,
"Behold,
I am going to punish
Amon
of Thebes,
and Pharaoh,
and Egypt
along with her gods
and her kings,
even Pharaoh
and those who trust
in him.
26
"I shall give
them over to the power
of those who are see
king
their lives,
even into the hand
of Nebuchadnezzar
king
of Babylon
and into the hand
of his officers.
Afterwards,
however, it will be inhabited
as in the days
of old,"
declares
the LORD.
27
"But as for you, O Jacob
My servant,
do not fear,
Nor
be dismayed,
O Israel!
For, see,
I am going to save
you from afar,
And your descendants
from the land
of their captivity;
And Jacob
will return
and be undisturbed
And secure,
with no one
making him tremble.
28
"O Jacob
My servant,
do not fear,"
declares
the LORD,
"For I am with you. For I will make
a full
end
of all
the nations
Where
I have driven
you, Yet I will not make
a full
end
of you; But I will correct
you properly
And by no
means
leave you unpunished."
