The word
of the LORD
which came to Jeremiah
the prophet
against the Gentiles;
Against 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.

Order
ye the buckler
and shield,
and draw near
to battle.
Harness
the horses;
and get up,
ye horsemen,
and stand forth
with your helmets;
furbish
the spears,
and put on
the brigandines.

Wherefore 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.
Let not the swift
flee away,
nor the mighty man
escape;
they shall stumble,
and fall
toward the north
by
the river
Euphrates.
Who is this that cometh up
as a flood,
whose waters
are moved
as the rivers?
Egypt
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.
Come 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.

For 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.

of thy shame,
and thy cry
hath filled

for the mighty man
hath stumbled
against the mighty,
and they are fallen
both
together.
The word
that the LORD
spake
to Jeremiah
the prophet,
how Nebuchadrezzar
king
of Babylon
should come
and smite
the land
of Egypt.
Declare
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.

Why are thy valiant
men swept away?
they stood
not, because the LORD
did drive
them.
He 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.
They did cry
there, Pharaoh
king
of Egypt
is but a noise;
he hath passed
the time appointed.
As 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.
O thou daughter
dwelling

furnish
thyself to go into captivity:
for Noph
shall be waste
and desolate
without an inhabitant.

Egypt
is like a very fair
heifer,
but destruction
cometh;
it cometh out
of the north.
Also 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.
The voice
thereof shall go
like a serpent;
for they shall march
with an army,
and come
against her with axes,
as hewers
of wood.
They shall cut down
her forest,
saith
the LORD,
though it cannot be searched;
because they are more
than the grasshoppers,
and are innumerable.
The daughter
of Egypt
shall be confounded;
she shall be delivered
into the hand
of the people
of the north.
The 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:
And 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.
But 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.

Fear
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.
