1 The word of the LORD which came to Jeremi­ah the prophet against the Gen­tiles; 2 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. 3 Or­der ye the buck­ler and shield, and draw near to bat­tle. 4 Har­ness the hors­es; and get up, ye horse­men, and stand forth with your hel­mets; fur­bish the spears, and put on the brig­andines. 5 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. 6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man es­cape; they shall stum­ble, and fall to­ward the north by the riv­er Eu­phrates. 7 Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose wa­ters are moved as the rivers? 8 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. 9 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. 10 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. 11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O vir­gin, the daugh­ter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured. 12 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. 13 The word that the LORD spake to Jeremi­ah the prophet, how Neb­uchadrez­zar king of Baby­lon should come and smite the land of Egypt. 14 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. 15 Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, be­cause the LORD did drive them. 16 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. 17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath passed the time ap­point­ed. 18 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. 19 O thou daugh­ter dwelling in Egypt, fur­nish thy­self to go into cap­tiv­i­ty: for Noph shall be waste and des­o­late with­out an in­hab­i­tant. 20 Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but de­struc­tion cometh; it cometh out of the north. 21 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. 22 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. 23 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 The daugh­ter of Egypt shall be con­found­ed; she shall be de­liv­ered into the hand of the peo­ple of the north. 25 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: 26 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. 27 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. 28 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.
