[1] Yahweh’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations. [2] Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
[3] “Prepare the buckler and shield,
and draw near to battle!
[4] Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen,
and stand up with your helmets.
Polish the spears,
put on the coats of mail.
[5] Why have I seen it?
They are dismayed and are turned backward.
Their mighty ones are beaten down,
have fled in haste,
and don’t look back.
Terror is on every side,”
says Yahweh.
[6] “Don’t let the swift flee away,
nor the mighty man escape.
In the north by the river Euphrates
they have stumbled and fallen. [7] “Who is this who rises up like the Nile,
like rivers whose waters surge?
[8] Egypt rises up like the Nile,
like rivers whose waters surge.
He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth.
I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
[9] Go up, you horses!
Rage, you chariots!
Let the mighty men go out:
Cush and Put, who handle the shield;
and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
[10] For that day is of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,
a day of vengeance,
that he may avenge himself of his adversaries.
The sword will devour and be satiated,
and will drink its fill of their blood;
for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
[11] Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt.
You use many medicines in vain.
There is no healing for you.
[12] The nations have heard of your shame,
and the earth is full of your cry;
for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty,
they both fall together.” [13] The word that Yahweh spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
[14] “Declare in Egypt,
publish in Migdol,
and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes;
say, ‘Stand up, and prepare,
for the sword has devoured around you.’
[15] Why are your strong ones swept away?
They didn’t stand, because Yahweh pushed them.
[16] He made many to stumble.
Yes, they fell on one another.
They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people,
and to the land of our birth,
from the oppressing sword.’
[17] They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise;
he has let the appointed time pass by.’ [18] “As I live,” says the King,
whose name is Yahweh of Armies,
“surely like Tabor among the mountains,
and like Carmel by the sea,
so he will come.
[19] You daughter who dwells in Egypt,
furnish yourself to go into captivity;
for Memphis will become a desolation,
and will be burned up,
without inhabitant. [20] “Egypt is a very beautiful heifer;
but destruction out of the north has come.
It has come.
[21] Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall,
for they also are turned back.
They have fled away together.
They didn’t stand,
for the day of their calamity has come on them,
the time of their visitation.
[22] Its sound will go like the serpent,
for they will march with an army,
and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
[23] They will cut down her forest,” says Yahweh,
“though it can’t be searched;
because they are more than the locusts,
and are innumerable.
[24] The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed;
she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.” [25] Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him. [26] I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says Yahweh.
[27] “But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant.
Don’t be dismayed, Israel;
for, behold, I will save you from afar,
and your offspring from the land of their captivity.
Jacob will return,
and will be quiet and at ease.
No one will make him afraid.
[28] Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says Yahweh,
“for I am with you;
for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you,
but I will not make a full end of you,
but I will correct you in measure,
and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
[3] “Prepare the buckler and shield,
and draw near to battle!
[4] Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen,
and stand up with your helmets.
Polish the spears,
put on the coats of mail.
[5] Why have I seen it?

[15] Why are thy valiantH47 [men] swept away?H5502(NiphPerf) they stoodH5975(QalPerf) not, because the LordH3068 did driveH1920(QalPerf) them. [16] He made manyH7235(HiphPerf) to fall,H3782(QalActPtc) yea, oneH376 fellH5307(QalPerf) upon another:H7453 and they said,H559(QalImpf) Arise,H6965(QalImpv) and let us go againH7725(QalImpf) to our own people,H5971 and to the landH776 of our nativity,H4138 fromH6440 the oppressingH3238(QalActPtc) sword.H2719 [17] They did cryH7121(QalPerf) there, PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 [is but] a noise;H7588 he hath passedH5674(HiphPerf) the time appointed.H4150 [18] [As] I live,H2416 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the King,H4428 whose nameH8034 [is] the LordH3068 of hosts,H6635 Surely as TaborH8396 [is] among the mountains,H2022 and as CarmelH3760 by the sea,H3220 [so] shall he come.H935(QalImpf) [19] O thou daughterH1323 dwellingH3427(QalActPtc) in Egypt,H4714 furnishH6213(QalImpv) thyself to go into captivity:H3627 for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341(NiphPerf) without an inhabitant.H3427(QalActPtc) [20] EgyptH4714 [is like] a very fairH3304 heifer,H5697 [but] destructionH7171 cometh;H935(QalPerf) it cometh outH935(QalPerf) of the north.H6828 [21] Also her hired menH7916 [are] in the midstH7130 of her like fattedH4770 bullocks;H5695 for they also are turned back,H6437(HiphPerf) [and] are fled awayH5127(QalPerf) together:H3162 they did not stand,H5975(QalPerf) because the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 was comeH935(QalPerf) upon them, [and] the timeH6256 of their visitation.H6486 [22] The voiceH6963 thereof shall goH3212(QalImpf) like a serpent;H5175 for they shall marchH3212(QalImpf) with an army,H2428 and comeH935(QalPerf) against her with axes,H7134 as hewersH2404(QalActPtc) of wood.H6086 [23] They shall cut downH3772(QalPerf) her forest,H3293 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord,H3068 though it cannot be searched;H2713(NiphImpf) because they are moreH7231(QalPerf) than the grasshoppers,H697 and [are] innumerable.H369 [24] The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be confounded;H3001(HiphPerf) she shall be deliveredH5414(NiphPerf) into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the north.H6828 [25] The LordH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 saith;H559(QalPerf) Behold, I will punishH6485(QalActPtc) the multitudeH527(Ketiv) of No,H4996 and Pharaoh,H6547 and Egypt,H4714 with their gods,H430 and their kings;H4428 even Pharaoh,H6547 and [all] them that trustH982(QalActPtc) in him: [26] And I will deliverH5414(QalPerf) them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245(PielPtc) their lives,H5315 and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 and into the handH3027 of his servants:H5650 and afterwardH310 it shall be inhabited,H7931(QalImpf) as in the daysH3117 of old,H6924 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord.H3068 [27] But fearH3372(QalImpf) not thou, O my servantH5650 Jacob,H3290 and be not dismayed,H2865(NiphImpf) O Israel:H3478 for, behold, I will saveH3467(HiphPtc) thee from afar off,H7350 and thy seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivity;H7628 and JacobH3290 shall return,H7725(QalPerf) and be in restH8252(QalPerf) and at ease,H7599(PilePerf) and none shall make [him] afraid.H2729(HiphPtc) [28] FearH3372(QalImpf) thou not, O JacobH3290 my servant,H5650 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the Lord:H3068 for I [am] with thee; for I will makeH6213(QalImpf) a full endH3617 of all the nationsH1471 whither I have drivenH5080(HiphPerf) thee: but I will not makeH6213(QalImpf) a full endH3617 of thee, but correctH3256(PielPerf) thee in measure;H4941 yet will I not leave thee whollyH5352(PielInf) unpunished.H5352(PielImpf)
