NASB

Jeremiah 46:13-26

^{Tools
13} This is the ^(a)message which the Lord spoke to Jeremiah the prophet about the ^(A)coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to ^(B)smite the land of Egypt:

14}

“Declare in Egypt and proclaim in ^(C)Migdol,
Proclaim also in Memphis and ^(D)Tahpanhes;
Say, ‘Take your stand and get yourself ready,
For the ^(E)sword has devoured those around you.’

^{Tools
15}

“Why have your ^(F)mighty ones become prostrate?
They do not stand because the Lord has ^(G)thrust them down.

^{Tools
16}

“They have repeatedly ^(H)stumbled;
Indeed, they have fallen one against another.
Then they said, ‘Get up! And ^(I)let us go back
To our own people and our native land
Away from the ^(b)^(J)sword of the oppressor.’

^{Tools
17}

“^(c)They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but ^(K)a big noise;
He has let the appointed time pass by!’

^{Tools
18}

“As I live,” declares the ^(L)King
Whose name is the Lord of hosts,
“Surely one shall come who looms up like ^(M)Tabor among the mountains,
Or like ^(N)Carmel by the sea.

^{Tools
19}

“Make your baggage ready for ^(O)exile,
O ^(P)daughter dwelling in Egypt,
For ^(Q)Memphis will become a desolation;
It will even be burned down and ^(d)bereft of inhabitants.

^{Tools
20}

“Egypt is a pretty ^(R)heifer,
But a ^(e)horsefly is coming ^(S)from the north—it is coming!

^{Tools
21}

“Also her ^(T)mercenaries in her midst
Are like ^(f)fattened ^(U)calves,
For even they too have turned back and have fled away together;
They did not stand their ground.
For the day of their calamity has come upon them,
The time of their ^(V)punishment.

^{Tools
22}

“Its sound moves along like a serpent;
For they move on ^(g)like an army
And come to her as woodcutters with axes.

^{Tools
23}

“They have cut down her ^(W)forest,” declares the Lord;
“Surely it will no more be found,
Even though ^(h)they are now more numerous than ^(X)locusts
And are without number.

^{Tools
24}

“The daughter of Egypt has been put to shame,
Given over to the ⁽ⁱ⁾power of the ^(Y)people of the north.”

^{Tools
25} The Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, says, “Behold, I am going to punish Amon of ^(Z)Thebes, and ^(AA)Pharaoh, and Egypt along with her ^(AB)gods and her kings, even Pharaoh and those who ^(AC)trust in him. ^{Tools
26} I shall give them over to the ^(j)power of those who are ^(AD)seeking their lives, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and into the hand of his ^(k)officers. ^(AE)Afterwards, however, it will be inhabited as in the days of old,” declares the Lord.
