Jeremiah 46:15-17

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ Why have your strong ones been swept away?
Each has not stood,
for the Lord has thrust him down.
¹⁶ He continues to stumble.^(A)
Indeed, each falls over the other.
They say, “Get up! Let’s return to our people
and to the land of our birth,
away from the sword that oppresses.”^(B)
17 There they will cry out,
“Pharaoh king of Egypt was all noise;
he let the opportune moment pass.”
