Jeremiah 46:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ They stumbled again and again
    and fell over each other.
They said, ‘Get up. Let’s go back
    to our own people and our homeland.
    ·We must get away from our enemy’s sword [^L…because of the destroyer’s/oppressor’s sword]!’
¹⁷ ·In their homelands those soldiers [^LThere they] called out,
    ‘The king of Egypt is only a lot of noise.
He missed his chance [^Cfor glory]!’”
