 Jeremiah 46:13-28

Common English Bible (CEB)

 ¹³ This is the word that the LORD spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about the military offensive of Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar against the land of Egypt:¹⁴ Tell Egypt, warn Migdol, alert Memphis and Tahpanhes!
Say: “Brace yourselves for what’s coming. War is breaking out from every side!” ¹⁵ Why have your mighty fallen?  Why haven’t they stood their ground?  Because the LORD  has struck them down. ¹⁶ He’s tripped them up;  they fall over each other and say,  “Let’s get out of here  and go home to our people,   where we were born,  far away from the oppressor’s sword.”¹⁷ There they call Pharaoh, Egypt’s king, Loudmouth—Nothing But Hot Air! ¹⁸ As I live, declares the king, whose name is the LORD of heavenly forces, one is coming just as surely as Tabor is  in the mountains and Carmel is by the sea. ¹⁹ Get what you need for deportation, you inhabitants of Egypt. Memphis will be reduced to a wasteland,  a ruin with no one left. ²⁰ Egypt is a beautiful, yes, beautiful heifer, but a horsefly from the north  is coming to bite her. ²¹ Even her mercenaries  are like well-fed calves; they too will retreat and run for cover;  they won’t survive.
The day of disaster has come to haunt them, the time of their punishment. ²² Like the sound of a snake hissing  as it slithers away  is Egypt as armies approach in force; they come against her with axes, like woodcutters.
²³ They destroy her dense forest, though it is vast, because they outnumber locusts and can’t be counted, declares the LORD. ²⁴ Daughter Egypt will be humiliated, handed over to people from the north.
²⁵ This is what the LORD of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: I’m going to punish Amon of Thebes, Egypt and its gods and kings, as well as Pharaoh and all who rely on him. ²⁶ I will hand them over to those who seek to kill them, namely Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar and his servants. But afterward Egypt will dwell like it did a long time ago, declares the LORD.²⁷ But don’t be afraid, my servant Judah; don’t lose heart, Israel. I will deliver you from a faraway place and your children from the land of their exile. My people Jacob will again be safe and sound, with no one harassing them. ²⁸ So don’t be afraid, my servant Jacob, declares the LORD. I’m with you; I will put an end to all the nations where I have scattered you. But I won’t put an end to you. I won’t let you avoid punishment; I will discipline you as you deserve.
