Jeremiah 46:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Why have your warriors been laid low?
    They were unable to stand
    because the Lord has thrust them down.
¹⁶ They stumbled and fell,
    and then they said to one another,
“Come, let us return to our own people
    and to the land of our birth,
    far from the swords of our oppressors.”
¹⁷ They gave this nickname to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt:
    “One who boasts but never succeeds.”
