The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 whichH834 cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 againstH5921 the Gentiles;H1471
2
Against Egypt,H4714 againstH5921 the armyH2428 of PharaohnechoH6549 kingH4428 of Egypt,H4714 whichH834 was by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578 in Carchemish,H3751 whichH834 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of JehoiakimH3079 the sonH1121 of JosiahH2977 kingH4428 of Judah.H3063
3
OrderH6186 you the bucklerH4043 and shield,H6793 and draw nearH5066 to battle.H4421
4
HarnessH631 the horses;H5483 and getH5927 up, you horsemen,H6571 and standH3320 forth with your helmets;H3553 furbishH4838 the spears,H7420 and putH3847 on the brigandines.H5630
5
WhyH4069 have I seenH7200 them dismayedH2844 and turnedH5472 away back?H268 and their mightyH1368 ones are beatenH3807 down, and are fledH5127 apace, and lookH6437 not back:H3437 for fearH4032 was roundH5439 about, saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
6
Let not the swiftH7031 fleeH5127 away, norH408 the mightyH1368 man escape;H4422 they shall stumble,H3782 and fallH5307 toward the northH6828 by the riverH5104 Euphrates.H6578
7
WhoH4310 is thisH2088 that comesH5927 up as a flood,H2975 whose watersH4325 are movedH1607 as the rivers?H5104
8
EgyptH4714 risesH5927 up like a flood,H2975 and his watersH4325 are movedH1607 like the rivers;H5104 and he said,H559 I will goH5927 up, and will coverH3680 the earth;H776 I will destroyH6 the cityH5892 and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof.
9
ComeH5927 up, you horses;H5483 and rage,H1984 you chariots;H7393 and let the mightyH1368 men comeH3318 forth;H3318 the EthiopiansH3569 and the Libyans,H6316 that handleH8610 the shield;H4043 and the Lydians,H3866 that handleH8610 and bendH1869 the bow.H7198
10
For thisH1931 is the dayH3117 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hosts,H6635 a dayH3117 of vengeance,H5360 that he may avengeH5358 him of his adversaries:H6862 and the swordH2719 shall devour,H398 and it shall be satiateH7646 and made drunkH7301 with their blood:H1818 for the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 has a sacrificeH2077 in the northH6828 countryH776 by the riverH5104 Euphrates.H6578
11
GoH5927 up into Gilead,H1568 and takeH3947 balm,H6875 O virgin,H1330 the daughterH1323 of Egypt:H4714 in vainH7723 shall you use manyH7235 medicines;H7499 for you shall not be cured.H8585
12
The nationsH1471 have heardH8085 of your shame,H7036 and your cryH6682 has filledH4390 the land:H776 for the mightyH1368 man has stumbledH3782 against the mighty,H1368 and they are fallenH5307 bothH8147 together.H3162
13
The wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to JeremiahH3414 the prophet,H5030 how NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 should comeH935 and smiteH5221 the landH776 of Egypt.H4714
14
DeclareH5046 you in Egypt,H4714 and publishH8085 in Migdol,H4024 and publishH8085 in NophH5297 and in Tahpanhes:H8471 sayH559 you, StandH3320 fast, and prepareH3559 you; for the swordH2719 shall devourH398 roundH5439 about you.
15
WhyH4069 are your valiantH47 men sweptH5502 away? they stoodH5975 not, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 did driveH1920 them.
16
He made manyH7235 to fall,H3782 yes, oneH376 fellH5307 on another:H7453 and they said,H559 Arise,H6965 and let us goH7725 againH7725 to our own people,H5971 and to the landH776 of our nativity,H4138 from the oppressingH3238 sword.H2719
17
They did cryH7121 there,H8033 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 is but a noise;H7588 he has passedH5674 the time appointed.H4150
18
As I live,H2416 saidH5002 the King,H4428 whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 SurelyH3588 as TaborH8396 is among the mountains,H2022 and as CarmelH3760 by the sea,H3220 so shall he come.H935
19
O you daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in Egypt,H4714 furnishH6213 H3627 yourself to go into captivity:H1473 for NophH5297 shall be wasteH8047 and desolateH3341 withoutH369 an inhabitant.H3427
20
EgyptH4714 is like a veryH3304 fairH3304 heifer,H5697 but destructionH7171 comes;H935 it comesH935 out of the north.H6828
21
AlsoH1571 her hiredH7916 men are in the middleH7130 of her like fattedH4770 bullocks;H5695 for they alsoH1571 are turnedH6437 back,H3437 and are fledH5127 away together:H3162 they did not stand,H5975 becauseH3588 the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 was comeH935 on them, and the timeH6256 of their visitation.H6486
22
The voiceH6963 thereof shall goH3212 like a serpent;H5175 for they shall marchH3212 with an army,H2428 and comeH935 against her with axes,H7134 as hewersH2404 of wood.H6086
23
They shall cutH3772 down her forest,H3293 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 thoughH3588 it cannotH3808 be searched;H2713 becauseH3588 they are moreH7231 than the grasshoppers,H697 and are innumerable.H369 H4557
24
The daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714 shall be confounded;H3001 she shall be deliveredH5414 into the handH3027 of the peopleH5971 of the north.H6828
25
The LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 said;H559 Behold,H2005 I will punishH6485 the multitudeH527 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 in him:
26
And I will deliverH5414 them into the handH3027 of those that seekH1245 their lives,H5315 and into the handH3027 of NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of Babylon,H894 and into the handH3027 of his servants:H5650 and afterwardH310 H3651 it shall be inhabited,H7931 as in the daysH3117 of old,H6924 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
27
But fearH3372 not you, O my servantH5650 Jacob,H3290 and be not dismayed,H2865 O Israel:H3478 for, behold,H2005 I will saveH3467 you from afarH7350 off, and your seedH2233 from the landH776 of their captivity;H7633 and JacobH3290 shall return,H7725 and be in restH8252 and at ease,H7599 and noneH369 shall make him afraid.H2729
28
FearH3372 you not, O JacobH3290 my servant,H5650 saidH5002 the LORD:H3068 for I am with you; for I will makeH6213 a full endH3615 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 whereH834 H8033 I have drivenH5080 you: but I will not makeH6213 a full endH3615 of you, but correctH3256 you in measure;H4941 yet will I not leave you whollyH5352 unpunished.H5352
