Jeremiah 46:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ Why have your valiant men become prostrate?
    They do not stand because the Lord has thrust them down.
¹⁶ He made many to fall.
    Indeed, each one has fallen upon another.
Then they said, “Arise and let us go back
    to our own people and to the land of our nativity,
    away from the oppressing sword.”
¹⁷ They cried there,
    “Pharaoh king of Egypt is a tumult.
    He has let the time appointed pass by!”
