Prophecies against Egypt

2About Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Neco, Egypt's king, which was defeated at Carchemish on the Euphrates River by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon in the fourth year of Judah's King Jehoiakim son of Josiah:H4714H2428H6549H4428H4714H5104H6578H3751H5019H4428H894H5221H7243H8141H3079H1121H2977H4428H30633Deploy small shields and large; draw near for battle!H6186H4043H6793H5066H44214Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on! Polish the lances; put on armor!H631H5483H5927H6571H3320H3553H4838H7420H3847H56305Why have I seen [this]? They are terrified, they are retreating, their warriors are crushed, they flee headlong, they never look back, terror is on every side! [This is] the LORD's declaration.H7200H2844H5472H268H1368H3807H5127H4498H6437H4032H5439H5002H30686The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the bank of the Euphrates River, they stumble and fall.H7031H5127H1368H4422H3782H5307H6828H3027H5104H65787Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters churn?H5927H2975H4325H1607H51048Egypt rises like the Nile, and its waters churn like rivers. He boasts: I will go up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities with their residents.H4714H5927H2975H4325H1607H5104H559H5927H3680H776H6H5892H34279Rise up, you cavalry! Race furiously, you chariots! Let the warriors go forth— Cush and Put, who are able to handle shields, and the Ludim, who are able to handle and string the bow.H5927H5483H1984H7393H1368H3318H3568H6316H8610H4043H3866H8610H1869H719810That day belongs to the Lord, the God of Hosts, a day of vengeance to avenge Himself against His adversaries. The sword will devour and be satisfied; it will drink its fill of their blood, because it will be a sacrifice to the Lord, the God of Hosts, in the northern land by the Euphrates River.H3117H136H3069H6635H3117H5360H5358H6862H2719H398H7646H7301H1818H136H3069H6635H2077H6828H776H5104H657811Go up to Gilead and get balm, Virgin Daughter Egypt! You have multiplied remedies in vain; there is no healing for you.H5927H1568H3947H6875H1330H1323H4714H7723H7235H7499H858512The nations have heard of your dishonor, and your outcry fills the earth, because warrior stumbles against warrior and together both of them have fallen.H1471H8085H7036H6682H4390H776H1368H3782H1368H5307H8147H316213[This is] the word the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to defeat the land of Egypt:H1697H3068H1696H3414H5030H5019H4428H894H935H5221H776H471414Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol! Proclaim it in Memphis and in Tahpanhes! Say: Take positions! Prepare yourself, for the sword devours all around you.H5046H4714H8085H4024H8085H5297H8471H559H3320H3559H2719H398H543915Why have your strong ones been swept away? Each has not stood, for the LORD has thrust him down.H47H5502H5975H3068H192016He continues to stumble. Indeed, each falls over the other. They say: Get up! Let's return to our people and to the land of our birth, away from the sword that oppresses.H7235H3782H376H5307H7453H559H6965H7725H5971H776H4138H6440H3238H271917There they will cry out: Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise; he let the opportune moment pass.H7121H6547H4428H4714H7588H5674H415018As I live— [this is] the King's declaration; the LORD of Hosts is His name. He will come like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea.H2416H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635H8396H2022H3760H3220H93519Pack your bags for exile, inhabitant of Daughter Egypt! For Memphis will become a desolation, uninhabited ruins.H1323H3427H4714H6213H3627H1473H5297H8047H3341H342720Egypt is a beautiful young cow, but a horsefly from the north is coming against her.H4714H3304H5697H7171H935H935H682821Even her mercenaries among her are like stall-fed calves. They too will turn back; together they will flee; they will not take their stand, for the day of their calamity is coming on them, the time of their punishment.H7916H7130H4770H5695H6437H5127H3162H5975H3117H343H935H6256H648622Egypt will hiss like a slithering snake, for [the enemy] will come with an army; with axes they will come against her like those who cut trees.H6963H3212H5175H3212H2428H935H7134H2404H608623They will cut down her forest— [this is] the LORD's declaration— though it is dense, for they are more numerous than locusts; they cannot be counted.H3772H3293H5002H3068H2713H7231H697H369H455724Daughter Egypt will be put to shame, handed over to a northern people.H1323H4714H3001H5414H3027H5971H682825The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: "I am about to punish Amon, [god] of Thebes, along with Pharaoh, Egypt, her gods, and her kings— Pharaoh and those trusting in him.H3068H6635H430H3478H559H6485H527H528H4996H6547H4714H430H4428H6547H98226I will hand them over to those who want to take their lives— to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and his officers. But after this, it will be inhabited again as in ancient times." [This is] the LORD's declaration.H5414H3027H1245H5315H3027H5019H4428H894H3027H5650H310H7931H3117H6924H5002H3068

Reassurance for Israel

27But you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid, and do not be discouraged, Israel, for without fail I will save you from far away and your descendants, from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return and have calm and quiet with no one to frighten him.H3372H5650H3290H2865H3478H3467H7350H2233H776H7628H3290H7725H8252H7599H272928And you, My servant Jacob, do not be afraid— [this is] the LORD's declaration— for I will be with you. I will bring destruction on all the nations where I have banished you, but I will not bring destruction on you. I will discipline you with justice, but I will by no means leave you unpunished.H3372H3290H5650H5002H3068H6213H3617H1471H5080H6213H3617H3256H4941H5352H5352
