Jeremiah 46:19-21

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹Prepare yourselves baggage for exile,
O inhabitants of Egypt!
For Memphis shall become a waste,
a ruin, without inhabitant.

²⁰“A beautiful heifer is Egypt,
    but a gadfly from the north has come upon her.
²¹Even her hired soldiers in her midst
    are like fatted calves;
yea, they have turned and fled together,
    they did not stand;
for the day of their calamity has come upon them,
    the time of their punishment.
