Jeremiah 46:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ Why are your warriors prostrate?
    They don’t stand^[a] because the Lord has brought them down.
¹⁶ They repeatedly stumble and fall.
    They say to each other, ‘Get up!
Let’s go back to our people
    and to the land of our birth,
        away from the oppressor’s sword.’
¹⁷ There they’ll cry out,
‘Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is just a big noise.
    He has let the appointed time pass by.’^[b]
