Jeremiah 46:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 Why are your (A)mighty ones thrown down?
They do not stand because Yahweh has (B)thrust them down.
16 They have repeatedly (C)stumbled;
Indeed, they have fallen one against another.
Then they said, ‘Rise up! And (D)let us return
To our own people and land of our birth
Away from the [a](E)sword of the oppressor.’
17 [b]They called out there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but (F)a rumbling;
He has let the appointed time pass by!’
