Jeremiah 46:15-17

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ Why are your strong ones swept away?
They did not stand up,
because Adonai thrust him down.
¹⁶ They keep stumbling,
yes, falling over each other.
Then they said: ‘Get up!
Let’s return to our own people,
to the land of our birth,
away from the oppressor’s sword.’
¹⁷ They cried there:
‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise!
He let the opportune time pass.’
