Jeremiah 46:18-20
Amplified Bible
18
“As I live,” says the King,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts,
“Surely like [a]Tabor among the mountains
Or like Carmel by the sea,
So shall he [the great king of Babylon] come.
19
“O you daughter who dwells in Egypt and you who dwell with her,
Prepare yourselves [with all you will need] to go into exile,
For Memphis will become desolate;
It will even be burned down and without inhabitant.
20
“Egypt is a very pretty heifer,
But a horsefly (Babylonia) is coming [against her] out of the north!
