17 [a]They shouted there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is nothing but (A)a big noise;
He has let the appointed time pass by!’
18 As I live,” declares the (B)King,
Whose name is the Lord of armies,
“One certainly shall come who is like (C)Tabor among the mountains,
Or like (D)Carmel by the sea.
19 Make your baggage ready for (E)exile,
(F)Daughter living in Egypt,
For (G)Memphis will become a desolation;
It will be destroyed and [b]deprived of inhabitants.
