Take your stations with your helmets, whet your lances, put on your coats of mail!H631H5483H5927H6571H3320H3553H4838H7420H3847H56305Why do I see them terrified? They have fallen back; their warriors are beaten down, and have fled in haste. They do not look back—terror is all around! says the LORD.H7200H2844H5472H268H1368H3807H5127H4498H6437H4032H5439H5002H30686The swift cannot flee away, nor can the warrior escape; in the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.H7031H5127H1368H4422H3782H5307H6828H3027H5104H65787Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?H5927H2975H4325H1607H51048Egypt rises like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. It said, Let me rise, let me cover the earth, let me destroy cities and their inhabitants.H4714H5927H2975H4325H1607H5104H559H5927H3680H776H6H5892H34279Advance, O horses, and dash madly, O chariots! Let the warriors go forth: Ethiopia and Put who carry the shield, the Ludim, who draw the bow.H5927H5483H1984H7393H1368H3318H3568H6316H8610H4043H3866H8610H1869H719810That day is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of retribution, to gain vindication from his foes. The sword shall devour and be sated, and drink its fill of their blood. For the Lord GOD of hosts holds a sacrifice in the land of the north by the river Euphrates.H3117H136H3069H6635H3117H5360H5358H6862H2719H398H7646H7301H1818H136H3069H6635H2077H6828H776H5104H657811Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter Egypt! In vain you have used many medicines; there is no healing for you.H5927H1568H3947H6875H1330H1323H4714H7723H7235H7499H858512The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for warrior has stumbled against warrior; both have fallen together.H1471H8085H7036H6682H4390H776H1368H3782H1368H5307H8147H316213The word that the LORD spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about the coming of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon to attack the land of Egypt:H1697H3068H1696H3414H5030H5019H4428H894H935H5221H776H471414Declare in Egypt, and proclaim in Migdol; proclaim in Memphis and Tahpanhes; Say, "Take your stations and be ready, for the sword shall devour those around you."H5046H4714H8085H4024H8085H5297H8471H559H3320H3559H2719H398H543915Why has Apis fled? Why did your bull not stand? —because the LORD thrust him down.H47H5502H5975H3068H192016Your multitude stumbled and fell, and one said to another, "Come, let us go back to our own people and to the land of our birth, because of the destroying sword."H7235H3782H376H5307H7453H559H6965H7725H5971H776H4138H6440H3238H271917Give Pharaoh, king of Egypt, the name "Braggart who missed his chance."H7121H6547H4428H4714H7588H5674H415018As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, one is coming like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea.H2416H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635H8396H2022H3760H3220H93519Pack your bags for exile, sheltered daughter Egypt! For Memphis shall become a waste, a ruin, without inhabitant.H1323H3427H4714H6213H3627H1473H5297H8047H3341H342720A beautiful heifer is Egypt—a gadfly from the north lights upon her.H4714H3304H5697H7171H935H935H682821Even her mercenaries in her midst are like fatted calves; they too have turned and fled together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity has come upon them, the time of their punishment.H7916H7130H4770H5695H6437H5127H3162H5975H3117H343H935H6256H648622She makes a sound like a snake gliding away; for her enemies march in force, and come against her with axes, like those who fell trees.H6963H3212H5175H3212H2428H935H7134H2404H608623They shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it is impenetrable, because they are more numerous than locusts; they are without number.H3772H3293H5002H3068H2713H7231H697H369H455724Daughter Egypt shall be put to shame; she shall be handed over to a people from the north.H1323H4714H3001H5414H3027H5971H682825The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, said: See, I am bringing punishment upon Amon of Thebes, and Pharaoh, and Egypt and her gods and her kings, upon Pharaoh and those who trust in him.H3068H6635H430H3478H559H6485H527H528H4996H6547H4714H430H4428H6547H98226I will hand them over to those who seek their life, to King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon and his officers. Afterward Egypt shall be inhabited as in the days of old, says the LORD.H5414H3027H1245H5315H3027H5019H4428H894H3027H5650H310H7931H3117H6924H5002H306827But as for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob, and do not be dismayed, O Israel; for I am going to save you from far away, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob shall return and have quiet and ease, and no one shall make him afraid.H3372H5650H3290H2865H3478H3467H7350H2233H776H7628H3290H7725H8252H7599H272928As for you, have no fear, my servant Jacob, says the LORD, for I am with you. I will make an end of all the nations among which I have banished you, but I will not make an end of you! I will chastise you in just measure, and I will by no means leave you unpunished.H3372H3290H5650H5002H3068H6213H3617H1471H5080H6213H3617H3256H4941H5352H5352
