Concerning Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates at Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated [decisively] in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

She will be handed over with her attendants and her father as well as he who supported her in those times.

You will be far from [even the thought of] oppression, for you will not fear,
