Jeremiah 46:15-17

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ Why should your soldiers be cut down?
They can’t stand because the Lord will push them down.
¹⁶ They have repeatedly stumbled, and now they have fallen.
They say to each other,
‘Get up! Let’s go back to our people,
to the land where we were born,
and escape our enemy’s sword.’
¹⁷ There they will cry, ‘Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is a big windbag.
He has missed his chance.’
