Jeremiah 46:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁵ Why are your mighty ones laid low?^[a]
They cannot stand, for the Lord has pushed them down.
¹⁶ He made many stumble.
They fall against each other.
They say, “Get up! Let’s go back to our people
and to the land of our birth,
away from the sword of our oppressor.”
¹⁷ There they will cry out,
“Pharaoh king of Egypt is only a loud noise.
He has missed his opportunity.”
