Jeremiah 46:18-20
American Standard Version
18 As I live, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. 19 [a]O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, [b]furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant. 20 Egypt is a very fair heifer; but [c]destruction out of the north is come, it is come.
