Jeremiah 46:15-17
Revised Standard Version
15 Why has Apis fled?[a]
Why did not your bull stand?
Because the Lord thrust him down.
16 Your multitude stumbled[b] and fell,
and they said one to another,
‘Arise, and let us go back to our own people
and to the land of our birth,
because of the sword of the oppressor.’
17 Call the name of Pharaoh, king of Egypt,
‘Noisy one who lets the hour go by.’
