Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 046

 

046:001The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet
against the Gentiles;

 

046:002Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt,
which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of
Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.

 

046:003Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.

 

046:004Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth
with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the
brigandines.

 

046:005Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and
their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and
look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD.

 

046:006Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they
shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river
Euphrates.

 

046:007Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved
as the rivers?

 

046:008Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like
the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the
earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.

 

046:009Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty
men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle
the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.

 

046:010For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of
vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the
sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk
with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice
in the north country by the river Euphrates.

 

046:011Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of
Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt
not be cured.

 

046:012The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled
the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty,
and they are fallen both together.

 

046:013The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land
of Egypt.

 

046:014Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in
Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee;
for the sword shall devour round about thee.

 

046:015Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because
the LORD did drive them.

 

046:016He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they
said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the
land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.

 

046:017They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he
hath passed the time appointed.

 

046:018As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts,
Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the
sea, so shall he come.

 

046:019O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into
captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an
inhabitant.

 

046:020Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it
cometh out of the north.

 

046:021Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted
bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away
together: they did not stand, because the day of their
calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.

 

046:022The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall
march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers
of wood.

 

046:023They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it
cannot be searched; because they are more than the
grasshoppers, and are innumerable.

 

046:024The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be
delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

 

046:025The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will
punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their
gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust
in him:

 

046:026And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their
lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be
inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.

 

046:027But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O
Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy
seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return,
and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

 

046:028Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am
with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations
whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of
thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee
wholly unpunished.
