Jeremiah 46:15-19
The Message
Jeremiah 46:15-19
The Message
15-19 “Why will your bull-god Apis run off?
Because God will drive him off.
Your ragtag army will fall to pieces.
The word is passing through the ranks,
‘Let’s get out of here while we still can.
Let’s head for home and save our skins.’
When they get home they’ll nickname Pharaoh
‘Big-Talk-Bad-Luck.’
As sure as I am the living God”
—the King’s Decree, God-of-the-Angel-Armies is his name—
“A conqueror is coming: like Tabor, singular among mountains;
like Carmel, jutting up from the sea!
So pack your bags for exile,
you coddled daughters of Egypt,
For Memphis will soon be nothing,
a vacant lot grown over with weeds.
Jeremiah 46:15-17
New International Version
Jeremiah 46:15-17
New International Version
15 Why will your warriors be laid low?
They cannot stand, for the Lord will push them down.(A)
16 They will stumble(B) repeatedly;
they will fall(C) over each other.
They will say, ‘Get up, let us go back
to our own people(D) and our native lands,
away from the sword of the oppressor.’(E)
17 There they will exclaim,
‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is only a loud noise;(F)
he has missed his opportunity.(G)’
