Bible. Jeremiah
24:046:012 The 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.
24:046:013 The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land
of Egypt.
24:046:014 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.
24:046:015 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because
the LORD did drive them.
24:046:016 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.
24:046:017 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he
hath passed the time appointed.
24:046:018 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.
24:046:019 O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into
captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an
inhabitant.
24:046:020 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction cometh; it
cometh out of the north.
24:046:021 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.
24:046:022 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.
24:046:023 They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it
cannot be searched; because they are more than the
grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
24:046:024 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be
delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
24:046:025 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:
24:046:026 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.
24:046:027 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.
