Jeremiah 46:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Why are thy valiant men put back? they could not stand, because the Lord did drive them.
16 He made many to fall, and one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, let us go again to our [a]own people, and to the land of our nativity from the sword of the violent.
17 They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt, and of a great multitude, [b]hath passed the time appointed.
