Jeremiah 46:17

Messages Concerning Egypt

¹⁶ “They have repeatedly stumbled;
Indeed, they have fallen one against another.
Then they said, ‘Get up! And let us go back
To our own people and our native land
Away from the sword of the oppressor.’
¹⁷ “They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a big noise;
He has let the appointed time pass by!’
¹⁸ “As I live,” declares the King
Whose name is the Lord of hosts,
“Surely one shall come who looms up like Tabor among the mountains,
Or like Carmel by the sea.
